Concordia Venus maximizing organizer

I wanted to maximize the available space for Concordia expansions/boards, make it easier to get started and have the option for vertical storage. I think this does it.

It has individual player boxes with their start cards acting as a cover for their resources so they can be handed out for a faster start. There are three, slightly different player boxes (labeled with a circle, triangle or square) so they can secure the player boards that will sit on top. You will need two of each player box for a total of 6. (One for each color.) The frame that secures the player boxes is also labeled with the circle/triangle/square shapes to assist in placement. I don't know if unsleeved cards will work.

The resource tray and coin tray (and city tiles tray) accept 6x2mm magnets and can be put on the table for easy access during the game.

The city/resource bonus tokens (and fish tokens) are held in place by the Praefectus Piscatus tile. If you don't have Belaerica (the fish market), you will want to print the optional cover.

All the components for Concordia Venus, Balaerica (i.e. fish market), Salsa, and the Forum cards expansions plus a couple additional boards (a total of 5 boards) will fit in the base box with about 1mm of lid lift.

It is a tight fit, so the thicknesses of most walls/floors are minimal. This is not a robust framework, but it is sufficient as long as you aren't throwing the (very heavy when loaded) box around.

I made my own deluxe resources, but the retail cardboard tokens will easily fit. As long as the diameters are the same, I believe metal (or 3D printed) coins will fit too.

I did have to alter/create a couple expansion component boards so they will fit nicely. If you use the boards as sold/shipped, you will have to overlap them (taking up more space) and then decide if you want more lid lift, or one less map board.

• The Fish Market board is about 5mm too tall to fit sideways in the box (such an annoying design choice!). I cut it down with a straightedge and a sharp hobby knife. Except for the corners that are only partially rounded now, it isn't even noticeable.
• The Forum board is also too wide to fit sideways, but this one cannot be cut without looking incomplete. I scanned and altered the images and then printed and mounted the shortened versions of the two sides to chipboard. The tile spaces are the correct dimensions, and the board fits sideways in the box as shown in the pictures. Download and print your own from here .
