Foam-Core InsertDungeonQuest Revised Edition

last updated May 1st, 2016 — created May 1st, 2016

For each insert we create, we have a few standard design goals:

Reduce setup time as much as possible
Have separate trays for "setup components" and "gameplay components"
Allow for vertical box storage without components crushing each other
Fit sleeved cards

This insert is one of the first that we did with multiple trays. It has card drawers for each mini-deck as well as small trays for all tokens. It turned out quite nice! The dungeon tile stack fits into a neat drawing bin to minimize setup time. This is also the first design where we decided to keep a portion of the original FFG cardboard insert's artwork. We utilize it on a large foam-core separator that the game rules are placed over. This insert was actually originally created for the non-revised edition and required very little modification to be moved into the new box and house the new components.

How To Build Foam-Core Inserts

We learned how to make foam-core inserts primarily by watching the videos from The Esoteric Order of Gamers. He has created these wonderful tutorials that will help you get started. We have tried a few methods and prefer his practices over any other. Pro tip: Although it is tempting to skip gluing when building inserts to save time, we really REALLY recommend that you don't. We have built a couple inserts using only dress pins to hold them together and they don't last very long.
