Reddit reviews Really Useful Box 0.14 Litre, Clear, Qty. 1

As you say, the Broken Token insert is only for storing the parts away, it doesn't help during play.

The Daedalus Insert, on the other hand, is meant to both help with storage, speed up setup/tear down and be used during play. It's pretty great.

BUT! The Daedalus insert is only for use with the base game, Rise of the Ancients (RotA), Ship Pack 1 (SP1) and the four mini-expansions so far. - it fits ALL of those in just the base game box, which is awesome. BUT, the 2nd big expansion, Shadows of the Rift (SotR) just came out, and all of it together will not fit with the Daedalus insert. So if that insert interests you and you think you will eventually buy all the expansions, you may want to hold off on that for now - supposedly Daedalus is looking at making a new version of the insert once they get their hands on a copy of SotR.

 

Other than inserts, some cheaper and simpler ways of helping to organize the game are to put all the player components for a particular colour (cubes, discs, ships, 3 colony ships, 1 of each resource marker, action card) in a small box. The Ultra Pro #81173 or the 0.14L Really Useful Box (Amazon Link) are just the right size to fit all that in. If you don't mind always using each race's default colours, toss the ambassadors in there too, and 1 extra colony ship in the green box.

Even with just those and nothing else, setup becomes a lot quicker. Your players can look over the race sheets, and when someone decides they want to play as, say, Eridani they take that player board and you just pass them the little red box with all their components in them. At the end of the game, they dump all their player-specific components back in the box and pass it back to you!

For Ship Parts, it depends a lot on what size of games you'll be doing. A lot of people like to use a plano box, fishing-tackle box or counter tray sort of thing where each ship part has its own pocket. Those are fine for smaller games (2-5) where everyone can reach it, but the wider size of those boxes makes them more awkward to pass around the table. Since I play a lot of 6-9 player games, I find just dumping all the ship parts into one medium-sized tupperware container works fine - it's easy to pass around the table, it never spills, and people don't have any difficulty digging through it to find the ship parts they need. You can also compromise by having 3 small sandwhich-sized tupperware boxes with the unsorted tiles, but divided by type (one box has weapons and drives; one box has hull, computer and shields; one box has the rest).

 

Cube trays - depends a lot on your players and/or the presence of cats. I have them, but only use them half the time... most of my players are careful enough they don't need them.

Influence disc trays and other holders for things on your player board - you probably don't need these - that stuff is big enough it doesn't move on its own unless you're wearing a dangly scarf. I would wait and see after a half-dozen games before deciding to get anything like this.

 

Tangentially related: If you do ever plan on having a 9-player game (or 10, or 11, or 12...), better invest in a bigger house then if you can, do it somewhere where there's a TV/projector against one wall and put the Supply Board on its own little table with a camera pointed at it and displaying on the TV/projector so everyone can see it. No matter what kind of organizers/vertical-stand-up-tech-trays/etc you buy, you will not find a way for everyone at the table to be able to read and easily access the Supply Board otherwise!

No, I'm quite certain they're Really Useful Boxes, as I have like 20 of them. lol The one in the picture is exactly one of these.

I find that the smallest of the Really Useful Box series is just the right size to hold a collection of about 20+ carts.

Not as elegant as the Club Nintendo cases, but VERY effective.

Oh! Okay, that makes more sense.

They are called Super Stacker.

The ones I bought were in the store for 88 cents each.

They're about 3" wide, 2" tall, and 2 3/8th" across.

They're the same size as the smallest Really Useful Box but nowhere near as expensive.

I think these are the boxes (amazon). I have a bunch that I use for my other boardgames, so I'm glad to see they fit the cards. Looks like they are a size bigger than the ones in my link.
