Organise Your Elder Sign at Kickstarter
August 29, 2013 by dracs
We all know that feeling of frustration when, upon opening a board game box,we find its contents have become a jumbled mess. Now a Kickstarter has been set up to provide you with a cool case to help keep your copy of Fantasy Flight Games' Elder Sign organised.
Elder Sign is a game with a lot of components. Cards, markers dice, all can easily get jumbled together and make playing a pain. This Kickstarter, which has proven to be very successful in gaining funds, will provide a ready to play storage system, keeping all the bits and pieces organised with dedicated trays.
These have been designed to fit neatly in to either the original box or a dedicated storage case.
Now we gamers are stereotypically rather an untidy group, but sets like these are both practical in terms of storage and gaming, making the gaming experience itself easier and smoother.
Will you be heading over to this Kickstarter? Are there any other boardgames which you would like to see dedicated storage sets for?

Just got this game a couple of weeks ago along with the expansion – great fun :). Good solo play too! In on the ks – love a good storage solution 🙂
What’s the expansion like? must check that out.
Was playing solo this afternoon and won comfortably. Don’t know what I had done to appease the dice gods but they smiled kindly upon me for once! lol
It’s good – doesn’t add loads of new rules (basically just blessings or curses) but it does give you loads more adventure cards plus new investigators, old ones and items. Def think its worthwhile if you like the game – plus it fixes a couple of small bugs with the main set :).
Know what you mean with the dice – it is very possible to get smashed at this game if the dice turn on you 😉
One of the really annoying things is when you roll the dice and can complete the whole adventure. But you only can pick one section to complete
Then for the rest of the turn the dice just say NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH!
Adventure failed! DOH!
lol
One of the new characters lets you complete as many tasks as you like 🙂
The student from the core set (forget her name) does the same.
Makes a big difference! lol
From what I just saw of a review, the expansion looks like it is a bit tougher, which it needs imho
Ah maybe that’s who I’m thinking of. There are a few things that make it tougher in the expansion – particularly the mythos cards that are optional for this purpose. I also find playing it like the video game and eliminating characters without replacing them toughens it a bit too 🙂
Yes I have only play half a dozen or so games. The first two were more about getting the hang of it. I decided after the last game but one, where I won with one doom token to spare. Decided to fight the Old One to see how it worked The rules seem to say you lose if all characters are defeated iirc!, that it would be too easy if you had “unlimited” characters turning up.and not very fluffy! lol So I decided to draw 4 characters today and that would be it. I started with the journalist and he… Read more »
You would travel to the entrance before the clock moves forwards BUT you can’t spend any tokens there until you next go – spending tokens counts as your go for that turn.
One rule I forgot for the first couple of games is that if an investigator is eliminated, you must add one doom 🙂
Thanks.
That makes sense
I tend to move the clock forward a soon as the turn is over so I don’t forget! lol
Sadly I didn’t forget the doom tokens but did think that they could be removed if the symbol was in the rewards herpy derp derp
I saw a box of screws in Poundland. Chucked the screws out and it holds the tokens really well. Took the insert out of the box and everything fits really well. The only thing is the monster tokens are in a zip lock (like everything else. I thought, there must be a Cthulhu dice bag out there somewhere! And here it is! lol tbh I would love all that stuff and sleeves. The whole caboodle. But I would find it hard to justify the expense on storage. Even if it does look cool. Would love the dice tray but hey… Read more »
Oh I just thought, those trays for the items cards would be nice. I find the decks can slip and slide into each other on my small playing board.
It does look nice but I could never justify the expense (especially adding international shipping). Elder Sign is a fairly portable game anyway, a couple of ziplock bags or a small hardware box and you’re sorted. Now, Arkham Horror on the other hand does need storage options particularly with its range of expansions.
