Weather Machine: Tile Storage Drawers

These are storage trays for Goal tiles, Investment tiles, and Subsidy tiles found in the board game Weather Machine. While the box comes with a nice storage insert, the loose tiles themselves can be hard to get out of the insert. These trays hold the tiles together, and also fit in the game box insert tray. As a result the tolerances are tight, and the side walls of the storage trays are fairly thin - only 1 mm.

These storage trays are imagined as drawers from Professor Lativ's filing cabinet. The Investment tile drawer can be placed beside the game board to hold those tiles in tidy fashion during play. The Goal tile drawers have either a circle, square, triangle, or plus symbol to match the corresponding set of tiles.
