Merlin organizers
Please support Salomea by Liking/Boosting their Print on Cults3D.
Organizers for Merlin board game. Quick game set up and comfort during the play. Sliding lids prevent components from falling out during the storage. Theme reliefs and cutouts decorate organizers.
The set contains: Principalities organizer, Player's component organizer, Card tray, Crown container and Set up organizer.
1. **PRINCIPALITIES ORGANIZER**: There are 3 types of resources related to 6 principalities in the game: shields, flags and construction materials (cubes). A small holder accommodates one set of them. It can be placed on the game board without covering important information. Indentations in sections for shields and flags facilitate taking them out. Rounded bottom facilitates the cube draw. The holder is very comfortable and keeps each stack firmly during the play so nothing slides down annoyingly. There are 2 types of this holder: ToRight and ToLeft. They correspond with flag direction when it's placed next to the player board. Thus ToRight is dedicated to Grey, Purple and Brown, and ToLeft is for Black, Blue and Orange. 6 holders for components of 6 principalities are accommodated in a collective organizer that is covered with a lid. Thus nothing falls out during the storage. Indentations in the collective organizer facilitate taking holders out.
2. **PLAYER'S COMPONENT ORGANIZER**: A sophisticated organizer is designed for player's components. It resembles a picture of a principality castle on the game board.
There are 4 towers for Henchman markers. There are 2 sections with rounded bottom for cardboard markers on the left (Merlin's staffs, 100VP tile and Seals) and for wooden markers on the right (Knight, Influence cylinders and Scoring disc). In the middle there is a main tower where 2 octagonal trays are stored: Dice tray and Manor tray. Indentation facilitates taking them out.
Trays are removable from the container as they are used during the play: Manor tray is kept by the Terrain map and dice can be rolled into the Dice tray each round - it's a quite comfortable solution.
A special lid covers the container as its shape is extraordinary. It's still a sliding lid, but guides are only next to the main tower. The cover is thoroughly designed, so it fits very well and protects components from falling out during the storage. It can be moved easily as you can see on the [movie](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHrUT5gIhxj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link), even with just one hand.
3. **CARD TRAY**: Mission cards are stored here. Sloped bottom and indentation facilitate the draw. Reliefs on short sides refer to the king throne picture on card reverse.
The default card tray is designed for cards without sleeves. There are optional models of container and lid for sleeved cards. That tray is [larger](https://www.instagram.com/p/DHrTOwGOqL0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) so thick stack of sleeved cards fit there.
Each tray fit the game box next to other organizers. Set up organizer's shape is adjusted to the taller tray.
4. **CROWN CONTAINER**: Small container for 3 markers: 1st player, Grail and Excalibur.
5. **SET UP ORGANIZER**: Several components that are used in the game set up are accommodated here: Terrain frames, Apples, Starting tiles, Merlin pawn and Game round marker. There is a comfortable tray for Apples so they are contained also during the play. The tray can be placed on the designated location on the game board, though it has a different size.
Please, note, that I use 2 textile bags: one for Terrain tiles and the second - for Traitors. The blind draw is easier this way imo.
All organizers fit the game box and provide quick game setup. However it's not an insert.
