Arkham Horror: Custom Game Box + Tuckboxes
A simple yet much more practical box then the one FFG packages with the base game. Designed roughly to accommodate just the base game components many of which, I also did custom tuck-boxes for utilizing some of the game’s artwork.
The box itself is built from pieces of poplar finished with Feed’n Wax and pva glue that fits snugly into the original cardboard box. Tuck-boxes were done in Photoshop with the help of the online Tuck-box Generator and a handy scanner.
All the game pieces such as various tokens, money, stamina, and sanity markers fit into its own smaller box that pulls out so it can be placed closer to the actual gameplay.
Tuckboxes for anyone interested, are available as pdfs zipped conveniently in one file. They are also posted over on BoardGameGeek as well. Feel free to use for personal use.
These can be printed on pretty much any heavier paper stock but recommend using double-sided matte photo paper. Photo paper because its generally more durable to wear and tear and matte since glossy tends to be harder to adhere. Any PVA glue should do the trick although I usually use double-sided tape to make a stronger bond.
Construction is straightforward although the monster tiles cannot be printed fully as they extend past the 11″ of standard paper. Flaps 1 and 4 will either have to be made shorter or extended after printing. These are adhered in a way in which it doesn’t really matter though since they get glued inside.
