Shackleton Base Deluxe Insert (1.1)

A Journey to the Moon

Shackleton Base is a beautiful, system-driven game. It deserved an insert that removes friction, respects the components, and makes setup feel intentional rather than procedural.

This organizer is built around fast setup, durable fit, and clean table presence. Everything has a place, and most trays go directly from box to table. The design balances usability with aesthetics, using layered color contrast to match the game’s white → blue → black theme.

Corporation trays are designed to display the card art - keeping the visual identity of the game intact while staying practical.

The game’s palette is subtle and hard to translate into plastic.
This insert uses:

• White base layer
• Semi-translucent blue middle layer
• Dark blue accents on top layers

The result is a clean, layered look that stays within the theme without becoming noisy.
