The Game Was Fine. The Box Wasn't.

Watch “The Game Was Fine. The Box Wasn't.,” a board game review for Lands of Evershade from Artisan Worlds on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Artisan Worlds on YouTube:

Lands of Evershade arrives in nine boxes. My wife took one look and said, "I'm never playing that." In this rebox walkthrough, I pack the game away in my 3D printed insert and explain where every piece goes and why. She wasn't the only one. So I spent 200 hours working out where all of it should go. Reviewers loved this game, and many of them still called out the pile, so their comments appear throughout the video. What the video covers: - The Setup box, which keeps character creation off the rest of your table - Gray adventure trays for Into the Whitewell - Orange camp trays for upgrading your character - Character trays and miniatures stored with their rings on - Numbered mystery boxes that find a monster without revealing the others - Green overland trays, red combat trays, and white gold everyday trays - Item tokens stored beside their action cards - Loading everything back into the box Why it's built this way: Each tray color marks a phase of play, so you can ask for "the red tray" from across the table. Pieces live by when you need them: making a character, every session, or one adventure. Only what the moment calls for reaches the table.

Notes - Fits the All-In pledge, Wave 1. Wave 2 has not been tested. - Supports sleeved cards, tested with Awaken Realms and Sleeve Kings sleeves. - Every box stores vertically or flat. - No lid lift on the Core Box, Into the Whitewell, or Ashes of Heaven. About 5 mm on Song of Luada and the Character Model Variety Pack. About 10 mm on the Creatures Box, on purpose: it keeps the monsters safer and easier to get back out. - Physical inserts and digital files are separate purchases. Artisan Worlds explores board games through design, improving setup, organization, table presence, and play through thoughtful physical systems. Unofficial fan-made product. Artisan Worlds is not affiliated with or endorsed by Awaken Realms. Game and components shown for demonstration. #LandsOfEvershade #BoardGameInsert

About Lands of Evershade, from BoardGameGeek:

Lands of Evershade is a hybrid RPG/board game experience that lets players enjoy grand, richly narrated open-world adventures without a dungeon master, while keeping the game approachable and easy to learn. Start by building your perfect character using an immersive player's handbook. Choose from unique races and origins, dark secrets, and exciting classes with interesting advancements and specializations that ensure no two characters are the same. All decisions made during character creation - as well as later in the game - change how the world reacts to you, both in story and combat. Were you a nobleman or a common thief in your past? What's your secret or personal quest you hide from other players? New stories, interactions, and combat opportunities unlock at every step. You can explore the game's multiple standalone story modules and scenarios in the order of your choice to create your own campaign that will lead you to different areas and significant events in the vast universe of Lands of Evershade. When necessary, engage in fast-paced tactical combat in which enemies react to your actions. Enjoy dozens of high-quality models that bring life to your party members and enemies. Lands of Evershade is more than a game; it's a universe built over many years, a world of secrets buried in the shadow of the goddess Luada that will grow and expand with new content for years to come. -description from the publisher
