1. 🤝 Why This Collaboration?

Board gaming has evolved into an immersive hobby, but complexity often brings clutter. The Kickstarter community for Europa Universalis: The Price of Power voiced a clear need for streamlined storage that preserves component quality while enhancing usability. Seeing this demand, PolandGames—renowned for premium tabletop accessories—and e‑Raptor—with over a decade of precision laser‑cutting expertise—partnered to craft a solution that addresses both organization and durability.

• Community‑Driven Design: Feedback from over 200 backers shaped the initial concept, focusing on real-world usability and ease of access.

• Complementary Expertise: PolandGames contributes design finesse and market reach, while e‑Raptor brings robust material knowledge and manufacturing precision.

• Shared Vision: Both teams aim to reduce setup fatigue and boost enjoyment, letting you focus on strategy, diplomacy, and conquest.

2. ⚙️ How It Works

1. Design & Prototyping: Starting with detailed 3D CAD models, our teams iterated designs based on playtest reports, ensuring every tray, slot, and divider fits perfectly within the Deluxe Edition box.

2. DIY Assembly: The snap‑fit method lets you easily click pieces together without glue; included screws add extra security, making the insert sturdy during transport.

3. Compartment Layout: Thoughtful zoning accommodates:

   • Up to 8 distinct card decks (sleeved or unsleeved).

   • Dozens of resource tokens sorted by type and color.

   • Custom wells for miniatures and wooden discs.

   • Space for future stretch goals, expansions, or promo items.

4. User Guide: A step‑by‑step PDF with clear illustrations and suggested layouts ensures first‑time builders can finish assembly in under 5 minutes.

3. 🌟 Player Benefits

• Fast and Focused Setup: Cut your pre‑game time by up to 60%, letting you dive into economic alliances, military campaigns, and diplomatic intrigue without delay.

• Component Longevity: Eliminating loose tokens in zip bags or bulk piles prevents scratches, bending, and color fading.

• Scalability: As new expansions arrive, simply add modular trays rather than swapping your entire organizer.

• Enhanced Aesthetics: Choose between a natural wood finish (HDF/MDF) for a classic look or vibrant UV‑printed panels that echo the era‑appropriate nation flags and heraldic motifs.

4. 💡 Expert Tips

• Card Sorting: Label each deck slot with a small sticker or marker to minimize draw errors during competitive play.

• Token Counting: Use the plexi wells as quick‑count vessels—fill to the brim, then pour into your bank to maintain accurate resources.

• Miniature Care: Insert delicately painted figures upright in custom foam‑lined wells to reduce contact and preserve paintwork.

5. 📐 Technical Specifications & Materials

• HDF 2 mm: Provides crisp, precise dividers for cards and token slots, easily removable if layouts change.

• MDF 6 mm: Forms a rigid base layer, ensuring the entire insert box holds its shape under heavy use.

• PMMA Plexi: Transparent or frosted panels for token wells add visual clarity and a premium feel.

• Snap‑Fit Screws: Reusable assembly hardware that locks components in place without adhesives.

• UV Print: High‑definition, fade‑resistant printing for artwork, icons, and legends directly onto panels.

• Compatibility: Engineered to slide seamlessly into the Kickstarter Deluxe Edition box, leaving room for inserts and rulebooks.
