StarCraft the board game case
As a big fan of the original Blizzard game, I bought the StarCraft board game many years ago. While everything was fun, the original cardboard box was not ideal. Inside the box were tokens, cards, and plastic figures for each of the six players, along with common tokens and cards, cardboard palettes, and a rule book. However, the enormous box was only half full (big box to justify the game's price) and had no organizers inside. To keep things in order I organized them into dozens of plastic bags.
Eventually, I came up with an idea to make the game components more manageable and reduce the box's size. After two years of designing, trying, printing, and reprinting, I finally achieved my goal.
The design I came up with features a separate box for each player, which holds all of their components in an organized manner. The removable token pallet is also included, making it easier to avoid a mess of tokens during gameplay. Additionally, the bottom of the case serves as an organizer for all of the common parts. There's even a gap under the lid that can store cardboard palettes, info sheets, and a rule book.
Overall, the design offers a more compact and user-friendly solution to organizing the StarCraft board game, making it easier and more enjoyable to play.

This project is difficult to build, I spent some extra material to get things done right. All I can promise that I've printed it myself using the models I've provided.
Boxes parts nicely work with each other and my game. I'm not completely sure that other instances of the game uses exact the same materials for cards and tokens. It may result into different token stack thickness and some sells may be too tight or too loose. However if you gonna do it contact me for advises or small cell size modifications. I recommend to print cell perimeters first to check the sizes before you spend lots of plastic and time for the whole.
