Space Empires 4X vertical token holder
This is a token holder for the board game Space Empires 4X published by GMT. The game involves a fog-of-war element where tokens are face-down at all times until encountered by an enemy, in which case they are revealed. During play this means you have to flip your counters to peek at them to remember where you sent which ships. I designed this to hold ship type and number tokens so the owner can easily see the ship type and number in the group, while hiding that information from their opponent. The triangular privacy screens hide the number token from the opponent.
Existing token holders for this game either keep the tokens face-down but make them easier to move together, or show the ship type but hide the group size, neither of which fully solved the problem I had with the game, prompting me to design this. This is intended for 2 player games, but I may make an alternate design that provides more coverage from the side to prevent players in a 3 or 4 player game from seeing a group's number token.

I hate having to lift tokens to look at what they are and not see my fleets at a glance, so I made this token holder that lets the ship owner see the ship type and number tokens while hiding them from the other player.
