Darwins Journey - Box game inserts

I was thrilled to receive the long awaited Darwin's Journey by Thundergryph Games. I backed this game on Kickstarter in januari 2021. The box of the base game arrived in april 2023, so after some unpacking I felt the box needs inserts… So I made them.

This is for the BASE game only (and the free gift scenario mini expansion)!

Pick ONE of the following:

Larger printers (at least 230x80x40 build volume): print box 1 and 2 once, print box 3 twice and box 4 four times.

Smaller printers (at least 180x80x40 build volume): print box 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A all once and box 4 four times.

Update 2023-06-04: Added smaller printer versions. You can always choose this even if you have a bigger printer. Pros: I really like box 1A/B over box 1, Cons: Box 3A feels out of place, with the rest fitting so nicely.

Update 2023-06-05: Redesigned box 4 for better fit of the 5 workers. Last photo showing new layout of box 4

Update 2024-02-04: Fixed Box 1B for smaller printers.

Details larger printers

Box 1 goes right side of the game box, Box 2 goes bottom side, put main board and player boards in top left. Box 3 goes bottom right. Boxes 4 (player pieces, 4x) sit on top of the board, but right of the player boards. Manual goes up top.

Box 1: needed for over half of the game setup pieces. The numbers in box 1 are the corresponding steps in the Game Setup (page 4/5 of the manual): steps 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16

Box 2: needed for the crew cards (see manual pages 6/7), knowledge tokens (step 17) and wax seals (steps 5, 6, 7). 

Box 3: needed for the remaining pieces: the research tokens and coins (step 17). You could use the tops and bottoms for the four piles of step 17.

Box 4: needed for all the Player Pieces (see manual page 6).
