LOVE terraforming mars! Have you played the card version? I thought that was fun (and easier to clean up) ๐Ÿ˜†

[โ€“] dpunked@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I have not. This is Ares, right?

We just got an expansion for it, too! Its called Venus next! Will report when we have tried it :)

I still want to make an organizer for Terraforming mars because its a mess in that box!

I remember when I first got my Broken Token organizer (with player boards) for Terraforming Mars. What a game changer!

I want to make my own, thinking of something thematic. Maybe designing a rover as the card holder or something silly

I used to make organizers out of foam and they worked out ok. Unfortunately I'm not a very skilled individual and came out all crooked XD

If you have the skill to measure and cut straight, which I don't, definitely consider buying foam sheets and wood glue on your local hardware shop. It's so cheap!

I usually make mine all fancy with my 3D printer :)

[โ€“] pathief@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's also fantastic. I had a friend with a 3d printer and would ocasionally ask me to print something.

Check out this website, if you haven't already. It lists 3d printable resources for all the games in your BGG account. Pretty neat.

Those are AWESOME! Definitely helps lessen the oh shit I just bumped the table factor

[โ€“] dpunked@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! That was the idea! We bumped one to many tables :D

I believe I have. I made some stuff for Terraforming Mars, Castles of Burgundy, the Crew, Deep Sea Adventure and some universal resource trays. I think I only posted about the terraforming mars and universal trays in a single post
