Storing all components in the main box?

By Deadstop, in General Discussion

Folks,

I asked this in the Adding Expansions topic, but a couple of days have passed and it occurs to me that a new, properly labeled topic might be more likely to get a good response.

Has anyone managed to fit all the existing components from the expansions into the main EH box? I have gotten it down to the two big boxes (EH for boards, rules, investigators/AOs, and tokens, and MoM for card decks). I am thinking that a proper divider of some sort might allow it all to fit in the one box. Suggestions?

Thanks!

I use all 4 boxes the two smaller ones I keep the AOs and their respective packs together these 2 boxes than go in the MoM box along with a bag for monster tokens and the investigators. I don't think everything would fit in one box but in any case it would be a temporary solution as the next big box expansion is on its way so bear that in mind when looking for solutions.

Sorry for not being very helpful.

I have Eldritch Horror along with Forsaken Lore and Mountains of Madness all in the base box with the lid about half an inch from closing completely. I made a custom insert for it and I quite love it. Hopefully the other two expansions won't increase that half an inch too much!

I realized that I not only did a horrible job at answering your question, but I did an even worse job at showing you. Let me try again.

Here is my home made insert from foam board bought at any ol' store with a office supply/crafting section.

As can be seen from this picture, I have a little room for growth as far as cards go, or I could organize better and use another compartment for cards if needed. Also, the green ribbons are for pulling cards out. I wanted the cards to lay on their side so I could just grab them, but then the boards made the box stick up too much for my liking.

Lastly, I may have overestimated how much the box sticks up from the extra content, it's really not that bad. I assume it will stick up more once I add Strange Remnants and Under The Pyramids (hopefully they both fit!).

Anyways, that was my solution, So far it has worked great and it was easy to do. I did a similar one for my Mansions of Madness, having all expansions for that I fit all cards in the Call of the Wild Box and figures in the main box. Good luck on finding your solution!

Donut,

using a piece of fabric as lid for the cards is something I never considered. Thanks a million, it's so easy and so brilliant and so definitive!

The "ouch" rubberband... "ouch" ... it hurts, to see it "ouch" .. digging into these cards... "ouuuch"

But besides that I really like your work. Did something like that for the Elder Sign game.
