Quotes (from this video)
  • So, first thing that I'm going to get out of the way is that this is not a one-box solution, unfortunately, because I sleeve my game.
  • And it's great because it will make it so that with the expansions, the game doesn't occupy more space than it did before.
  • And this being such an awesome game, I hated how the bare cardboard looked.
  • So, I don't throw these away because they can come in very handy for separating card types when coming up with storage solutions and organizing games.
  • The biggest reason why I do that is because, look, you can throw in there the captain unique ship standees.
  • So, every time that I remove a redundant component, I'll specify it.
  • The reason why I did that, I do this with certain games where if I remove the insert, then it leaves the naked cardboard and it just looks so ugly.
  • So, what I do is I keep this um, in a bag and boom, there you go. You have your little tray to pick up um, the tokens from.
  • This being such an awesome game, I hated how the bare cardboard looked.
