Card Cascade for Innovation Ultimate

Card Cascade is a complete store-and-play system, now adapted to Innovation Ultimate. The name refers to the way in which the cards cascade out to make them easy to see when playing.
Boost Me I have spent a lot of effort making Card Cascade super useful, and I want others to be able to easily discover it too. The most effective way is for you to Boost the model - if you like it, please do. Thank you! :)

With Card Cascade for Innovation,

• The base game and every expansion is instantly available with little setup
• Ages are laid out sequentially across 3 or 4 boxes, with room for achievements as well
• Each expansion is marked with a removable topper that helps keep focus during play
• The boxes provide compact, secure and stackable storage when not playing the game
• Separate designs for sleeved and unsleeved cards
• There is room for the reference cards and player mats at the back of each box
• A single box holds all the cards for either 3 or 4 ages, so you'll need 3 or 4 boxes to hold everything
• Printing requires no supports and the design fits on most printers. The design for 4 ages, sleeved cards, requires a big printer.

Each Cascade is a box that contains sliding card holders, designed to hold up to 15 cards each.

To play, remove the lid and insert the removable pushers into the keyed slots. Then put the box on top of the upside-down lid, so the pushers lift each row of card holders into a stepped cascade. Remove the toppers that protect the expansions only for those expansions you want to play with, and leave the others in place. This means you won't put a card in the wrong slot by accident.
Ages 1-4, with the Echoes topper removed and ready to play

When you’re finished playing, put the toppers back on the expansions, lift the box out of the lid, store the pushers in their dedicated compartment at the back of the box, and slide the lid back over the top. The cards are now held securely with little wasted space.

Each box has room for a slide-in label in front and on the side. The front label is the same size for all boxes, and the side labels come in a few standard sizes. The label width in mm is part of the box “model number”, see below.

There is a print profile for 3- and 4-Cascade setups. Download and print the ones that suits your printer and chosen design.

Card Cascade was originally designed for Dominion, but I will adapt it to other popular games if there is enough demand. Links to other designs below:

• Card Cascade for Dominion
• Card Cascade for Food Chain Magnate
• Card Cascade for Compile

Please join r/cardcascade to get updates on new games or features, chat with others about how to best print or use it, and anything else. I'd love for to see you there.

Each Cascade is supplied as a complete 3MF project with several build plates:

• Box and required pushers
• Lid with Innovation Ultimate logo
• Sliding card holders for all of the expansions
• Toppers with engraved Expansion names

You will need to print one copy of each plate, plus any labels you want from the relevant Labels print profile.

Print the required parts, then do the following:

• Insert the front and side labels of your desired design
• Insert the sliding card holders in the box, starting at the back.
• Hang the pushers so they fall into their storage compartment at the back of the box
• Add all of the base and expansion cards to the box. The achievements for each go in the rightmost slot of the last box.
• Slide the toppers on the right expansions
• Insert the player aids and mats in the back pockets

Enjoy!

If you like the design, please boost and like this and post a picture of your print both here and on Reddit. Thank you :)

Card Cascade is also used for other games and each Cascade has a unique model designation like S5·10·7·45·Sl . This is what it means:

• S = Small width, i.e. 3 horizontal card slots. Medium is 4, Large is 5.
• 5 = Five sliding card holders.
• 10 = Capacity of each static front pocket
• 7 = Capacity of each holder slot, always 7 for Compile.
• 45 = Width of the side label in mm.
• Sl = Sleeved cards (Un = Unsleeved)

The same designation is used consistently throughout the system so that boxes, lids, pushers, holders and accessories can always be matched correctly.

Every major printed component is marked with its model designation and version, currently v6.1.

Future version numbers will follow a simple compatibility scheme:

• Major version changes indicate that new parts are mechanically incompatible with previous versions.
• Minor version changes indicate cosmetic or printability improvements while maintaining compatibility with existing parts.

• The holder now has 0.4 mm more space for cards, which makes the cards fit better. The holders still fit within the same box.

Please join r/cardcascade to keep up with changes, if you have thoughts or feedback, and to get updates on new games or features to see you there. I'd love to see you there!
