StarCraft: The Board Game - 3D Printed Insert

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

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

Table space has been a problem for us with this game. We've taken some steps to help with the skirmish boards. But the highlight of this insert is the faction towers. Each faction gets its own tower with room to strategize.

• The towers keep tokens and minis organized during gameplay.
• Each player gets their own reference for buildings, modules, orders, and units.
• The shields give players a little private space, even on a crowded table.
• Drawers are labeled to easily find the minis you need.

Setup components are all housed in the expansion box. There's a small tray for play tokens.

We've also updated our old skirmish boards to a 3D printed version with better magnetic legs. These can be placed over the board and minis to create table space for combat.

This insert uses labels for the design. We used vinyl sticker paper to make it easy; just print, cut, and stick them right on the plastic. There is a set of free-placement drawer stickers if you want to organize minis differently. There are SVG cut files for the faction card and drawer stickers for those with a cutting machine.
