Tyrants of the Underdark - 3D Printed Insert

last updated October 16th, 2024 — created May 31st, 2024

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

This insert is for the first edition box and has room for the expansion decks. Each player gets a tray that stores all of their components and can be used as the Trophy Hall/Barracks during gameplay. There's a setup tray, a play tray for VP tokens, and a card box that can be used with our printable reference for each deck so you can grab what you need. Now the longest part of setup is shuffling the market.

Tyrants of the Underdark

NEWDeck Descriptions Reference Card

We had a crazy hard time finding short descriptions for all of the decks so we created this one to have a handy reference.

Other Insert Projects

NEWWorld of WarCraft: The Board Game

This is our biggest insert ever. There are two large sets of drawers to hold the minis and everything else fits in the base game box.

NEWStarCraft: The Board Game

The highlight of this insert is the faction towers. Each faction gets its own tower with reference info on shields for some room to strategize.

Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition

This insert is designed for optimal setup speed. It has a few setup trays to pull components from, and then all play trays go straight from box to table.

Star Wars: Rebellion

This is most certainly our best insert ever. It has a lot of cool features that we'd never be able to do with foam-core, like sets of miniatures drawers.

Runebound Second Edition

This design covers every expansion, limits the boxes needed to play, and features boxes for Adventure Variants and Character Decks.

DungeonQuest Revised Edition

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.

Wiz-War

For this game we decided to store the base game and both expansions in one box with an overflowing insert (the lid doesn't fit on all the way).

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle

This insert houses the base game and both expansions in the base game box. Setup is quick with several play trays that go straight from box to table.

Drakon

The best part about this one is the dungeon tile stacks bin. It makes setup much, much swifter.

Enigma

This was the first insert we ever made. If we ever remake this it will be very different. But it was certainly a useful learning experience.

Artisans of Splendent Vale

This mini-insert for the small components tuck box keeps numbered meeples ordered and ready for action!

D&D Adventure Board Games

We created a box to store all the heroes so we'd be able to easily select any hero from any of the sets no matter which game we pulled off the shelf to play.

World of WarCraft: The Adventure Game

We designed custom faction boxes for the character decks and tokens. We also made draw bins for challenge decks, and a neat drawer bin for discovery tokens.

Runebound Third Edition

This design covers every expansion, has tokens sorted for convenience, and features boxes for each scenario.

Risk: Star Wars Black Edition

This was our first crack at making a 3D printed insert. It features rounded edges for easy component scooping and a draw deck space for each player.

Sanctum

The best part of this insert is how fast it makes the hero skills table setup. 5 seconds, no joke.

Chess

We got a gorgeous new fossil stone chess set, but it came in a decrepit green box, so we made our own.

Chaostle

We kept the original plastic insert in the base game box and built this insert for the Melee Expansion box.
