Brazil: Imperial organizers
Organizers for Brazil: Imperial base board game + Automa expansion.
Organizers fit the game box, provide quick game set up and comfort during the play. Ornamented lids are related to Brazilian historical buildings and landscapes.
The set contains: Resources organizer, Building organizer, Card tray, Land tile organizer and 4 different Player's component organizers. Additionally Automa card tray for expansion components is provided.
There are 3 .zip files: Brazil.V1 (default version that are in photos + optional Resources organizers with lids), Brazil.V2 (organizers adjusted to sleeved cards) and Brazil.Automa (2 card trays: one for cards without sleeves and the other for sleeved cards). Most of organizers in V1 and V2 are the same. Differences are explained below.
1. **RESOURCES ORGANIZER**: My standard type of organizer: separate section for each kind of resources, rounded bottom facilitates item draw. If you print 2 of such containers, they can be placed on 2 sides of the table, so all players can reach for resources during the play. However all these components can fit 1 Resources organizer.
**Optional**: Optional Resources organizers are provided. These organizers have sliding lids to prevent components from falling out during the storage. Theme reliefs and cutouts in lids are related to plants that are represented by resources markers: sugar cane, cotton and coffee tree. The size of these organizers is better adjusted to space inside the game box. They are the same height as Building organizer, next to them there is a comfortable space for Exploration tile bag.
2. **BUILDING ORGANIZER**: All building tiles are kept in separate piles. I have designed 8 sections, so each type of building is well visible and accessible during the play, even though there are only 4 types of tiles, just 2-sided. Each deck is kept in a distance providing comfortable tile draw.
3. **CARD TRAY**: All large cards are organized here. In the lower row there are Mission cards, in the upper row - Painting cards. Sloped bottom and indentations facilitate the draw. Ornamented symbols are related to 3 types of Painting cards.
**Sleeved cards**: A default tray (V1) is dedicated to cards without sleeves. I have adjusted it to sleeved cards (PALADINE brand, measured by *kerigann* <- thank you for the help!) in version 2 (V2).
4. **LAND TILE ORGANIZER**: Different components are organized here: small Land tiles, large and small Water tiles, City tiles, Capital tiles, Combat cards and Gold cards. Wavy indentations facilitate taking items out. The organizer is decorated with theme reliefs.
**Sleeved cards**: Sleeved Combat and Gold cards won't fit the default Land tile organizer (V1). Thus version 2 emerges. Here components are differently accommodated not only bcs of small sleeved cards. Large card tray and Automa tray for sleeved cards take much more space, so Monarch boards' default accommodation in the game box is disrupted. Thus Monarch board container is added in V2. It goes on top of shorter sections in Land tile organizer. *If you have cards without sleeves, you can choose the default version 1 of Land tile organizer or this version 2. Monarch board container do secure boards.*
5. **PLAYER'S COMPONENT ORGANIZER**: This one is a little complicated as there are 3 types of Military unit sets. So there are 3 types of containers. I used color names in stl file names, so you can recognize its purpose: Blue, Purple, Green, Orange. They differ only in Military unit section. Products+Mansions section and Palace section are the same in each Player's component organizer. A hinged lid can be assembled to the container. There are 4 lids with different reliefs. They are related to Brazilian historical buildings, ships or landscapes.
6. **AUTOMA CARD TRAY**: Automa card tray is provided for components of [Automa expansion](https://meeplebr.com/en/product/brazil-imperial-automa-200-years-of-independence/). The size of container is based on Card tray module. 2 slots serve to accommodate Action cards and Movement cards. A pocket for metal Compass is on top. Compass rose reliefs decorate the tray. This additional tray fits the game box next to other organizers without a problem.
Big acknowledgment to [Sejy](https://cults3d.com/en/users/Sejy/downloads) for information about Automa components.
**Sleeved cards**: There are 2 models of Automa card tray: one for cards without sleeves and the other for sleeved cards.
It was challenging to design player's component organizer as there are so many different items in the set. I tried to locate them in separate sections, so each type is easy to find. I also wanted them to be easy to take out to speed up the game set up, still they shouldn't fall out during the storage. So there are some compromises, but I think the organizer works quite well.
All organizers fit the game box. However it's not an insert. Note that there is no container for Exploration tiles in this set, as I keep them in a textile bag, so random draw is simpler.
I use cards without sleeves. All adjustments to sleeved cards were introduced based on information from Cults3d member [kerigann](https://cults3d.com/en/users/kerigann/downloads) - thank you again. As I don't have sleeved cards to this board game, I don't have pictures of organizers V2. In the .zip file there is a blender screen shot where accommodation of all organizers in the game box is explained. Though it's mostly similar to V1 shown on photos.
