Bitoku Game Organizer WITH EXPANSION

IMPORTANT UPDATE NOV 29, 2023: Incorrect versions of the “Main Tray Replacement” and “Dragonfly” files were mistakenly included when I originally published this. The corrected versions have now been uploaded. If you downloaded these files earlier, please be sure to DELETE “Main Tray Replacement.stl” and “Dragonfly.stl”, and download the new “Main Tray Replacement FIXED.stl” and “Dragonfly FIXED.stl” files below.

A box organizer for the board game Bitoku WITH the Resutoran expansion: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/323612/bitoku

Even if you don't have the expansion, this organizer should work for you… you'll just have a few empty card trays and bins. Alternatively, see the original organizer at https://www.printables.com/model/129349-bitoku-game-organizer-without-expansion

Assembly Instructions: A PDF is included that describes how to put everything back in the box after play. Print this and lay it in the bottom of the box as a guide! NOTE: When you click “Download Model Files” the PDF won't be included… so download the PDF separately in the section below the Model Files.

Already printed the original organizer? See the section below to find out which new parts to print, and which to re-use.

Description

This organizer is a little complex, but it's designed to make setting up a game easier. There are individual trays for component stacks that go on the board (crystals, mitamas, dragonflies, buildings, vision cards, bitoku cards, yokai cards, and festival cards). A photo is attached showing these trays placed on the board near their intended locations as marked on the board.

The individual component trays mentioned above all fit into a larger tray that contains pieces needed only for setup, not for play (gate A and gate B tiles, iwakura rocks, ancient buildings for 2p games, and 3p/4p forest inserts). A separate tray organizes the four types of Treasures of the Lake kodama scoring tiles.

A resource tray with four compartments, each with curved bottom, can be placed beside the board for play, along with the amulet tray.

Four player trays hold all player pieces, and the player color tile sits on top. Note, fitting all the player pieces in the trays is a little tight, but simply dumping the pieces in and shaking the tray a few times usually settles the pieces in nicely. Again, this is to make clean-up easy, so you don't need to line up all the player pieces to fit them into a careful arrangement. It may help to put the larger pieces (dice and player tokens) in first.

The card trays fit standard sleeves. Premium sleeves have not been tested. There are some simple card tray lids that are OPTIONAL. These should only be needed if you have very thick premium sleeves, and need to "squish" the cards into the tray, or if you plan to store the game vertically. A small tray holds the resource multiplier tokens, and fits inside the player cards tray (which is only half full of cards), and a small bin holds the “X” tokens used to mark rewards claimed after crossing the river (we don't even use these tokens).

If you are printing this from scratch:

Print one of each item, except the “Large Card” and “Player” trays need extra copies:

• Large Cards ✕ 5 (Bitoku, Yokai, Player Yokai, and two for Festival cards).
• Player Tray ✕ 4.

The Large Cards Lid is optional and probably not needed unless you have very thick sleeves and need to “squish” the cards into the card tray.

The Small Cards Lid is needed due to the vertical orientation of the Vision cards tray.

If you are upgrading from the original organizer:

Print all the files with names ending in “New” or “Replacement”.

Things you will keep:

• Player tray ✕ 4.
• All the individual tile trays: Buildings, Crystals, Mitamas, and Dragonflies.
• One of the two Small Card trays for the Vision cards. If you never printed the lid for this, you should print one, since these cards are now stored vertically in the box.

Replacement parts to print:

• “Main Tray Replacement” which the other trays fit into. Changes to the tray include: room for the new Iwakura rocks; easier to insert/remove the rocks; labels for placing each tile tray; slot for season and round tracker tokens.
• “Large Cards Replacement”. Print 5 of these. The new trays are slightly taller to accommodate more cards, and slightly less long so two trays can fit across from each other in the box. The walls are thinner to help fit them in the new orientation (see Printing Notes below). As before, the lids are optional and probably not needed unless you have very thick sleeves and need to “squish” the cards into the card trays.
• “Resources Replacement”. This had to be smaller to make room in the box for the new Festival cards.
• “Amulets Replacement”. The size changed slightly due to rearranging the card trays.

New parts to print:

• “Lake Treasures New”. This stores the four different kinds of scoring tiles. When using the expansion, three of the five original tiles are no longer needed. I've included a “Lake Treasure Divider New” tile you can optionally print to put on top of those three tiles as a reminder not to use them.
• “Claimed Rewards New”. This little box holds the “X” tokens you can use to mark which rewards have been taken after crossing the river.
• “Resource Multipliers New”. This fits inside the card tray that holds the starting player cards.
• “Solo Cards New”.

Printing Notes

Most walls are 1.15mm thick, which should create exactly three perimeters (two outer, one inner) if using a 0.4mm nozzle and modern slicer (Arachne perimeter generator recommended to prevent gap-fill).
