Review on BENECREAT 7 08X7 08X1 57 Containers Projects Organization by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Convenient storage of board game pieces

For me it's 10/10. It worked flawlessly to organize games like Anachrony, Empires of The Void II, Scythe, Gaia Project, Terraforming Mars, and Stone Age. Mostly cards are put in sleeves and kept in pouches, bits and pieces (coins, tokens, resource victory points) stuck in these villains. After reading elsewhere about various trends for protection and/or easy storage/setup, I was easily persuaded to use liner trays, card sleeves, and CONTAINERS that act as trays and containers for spending/collecting resources and also for saving could be used space. Cons: 1. Size vs. Use - the set contains 9 of each size so it's not easy to roughly estimate what can be used and how, so I ordered 3 sets and used them all, in some areas I definitely have more than used necessary because of availability. However, compared to other options, this set has many options to accommodate different sizes and quantities.2. Weight - Due to the previous disadvantage and obvious quality and material difference with packaging, this will definitely increase the weight of your game boxes. Not many, but some. I had no problem with the extra weight crushing other boxes.3. Price – Compared to basic inserts, pouches, or a simple upgrade to zip ties, price may limit your options for use in ALL your games, but by the time you look at it, you're already set for a storage upgrade and THIS set will be there certainly help at an affordable price. Benefits1. Organization - Removing the base inserts could make more efficient use of space, potentially allowing expansions to be moved into a box. 2. Time/Efficiency - Installation and placement is very easy and quick. You can separate all the individual player items by player/color and give everything to the player in one simple container instead of sorting by a per-player setup which eats up playtime. It is easier to remove for the same reason.3. Price – Compared to expensive trays and bit storage options that are specifically designed for gaming, these definitely hold most gaming items with ease.

Pros
  • Size reference
Cons
  • Very expensive
