wanting to build a chest to fit all the expansion packs

By Neleht3, in Talisman

I am looking for dimensions of the all the cards. I think we all know how annoying it is to carry many boxes just to play one game. I am planning on creating a "chest" with doors that will be able to handle all of the characters. One drawer for the boards. All the other will have removable dividers for the cards, tokens, lives, extra character, etc.

It will be about a 16x16 inch cube. Planning on using black walnut as the main wood with gold hardware.

This will actually be a gift to the person who owns the game. I appreciate any help or ideas to this project. :)

Are you asking for card dimensions, like a sleeve size?

Yes. I know the game all folded will fit into a 12"x12" box. We have all but three expansion packs for the revised fourth edition. I believe there are only two different sizes of cards: character and adventure. Please let me know if I am wrong. Would hate to miss something and it not fit.

normal card sleeves are 41x63mm, bigger cards are 102mm x 127mm

Remember to post pics of the finished box! Particularly since I was thinking of making a Talisman chest myself, although using board and laminates instead of anything fancy. Which reminds me, how will you store all the figurines?

Thanks!!

Im designing the chest to open on the front with two doors. Also the drawers wont fall out during transportation with doors. On the inside of the doors there will be tiny shelves to display all the characters. Basing the depth off the dragon-rider figurine. It will have four drawers. I plan on using black walnut, with cast iron handles. Kinda give it the mid-evil look.

I will definetly post pictures during the process and when its finished. :D

Don't forget there may be more expansions!
