The Sheep: Apothecary Victorian Insert (Modular)
This is a complete, custom 3D-printable modular board game insert for "The Sheep" (by Zero Strategy Games). It replaces the standard cardboard divider with a set of Victorian-inspired "Apothecary" deck boxes and token bins, designed specifically to fit a 9 1/4" (234.95mm) box interior. This insert dramatically speeds up your game's setup and teardown times, keeping everything securely in place.
The design features a custom-engineered Victorian Ironwork lid pattern. When printed on a Satin PEI sheet, the lids take on a beautiful matte, cast-iron texture that perfectly suits the comedy-horror theme of the game.
🏛 The "Apothecary" Aesthetic
•
Wrought Iron Lids: Ornate circular "Rose Window" lattice that allows you to see card art/tokens through the lid.
•
Debossed Labels: Clean, bold typography (using Alfa Slab One) that matches the rulebook nouns.
•
Bottom-Up Printing: Optimized for printing on textured sheets to give the "ironwork" a high-end, non-plastic finish.
