UPDATE 2018 02 14
I just uploaded a new version of the base that should make it easier to fit all the inkpots.Hardback-1_1-Base removes the inside fillets on the long sides at the bottom of the well. This opens a good bit more space, which in turn gives you more room for the inkpots. The original base should still work fine. I find if the cover doesn't sit flush at first, shaking the base back and forth gets the inkpots to settle.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program

Here is space for 5 hardbacks inside a hardback that fits inside Hardback the game. Of course, there is also room for all the rest of the pieces.

I backed Hardback through Kickstarter and we enjoy playing it. While the box is quite compact, I was still looking for some way to jettison the baggies and make it even easier to set up.

So, here you have it.

The case is reminiscent of a hardback and the inside has room for ink, ink remover, all the hardback player tokens, and a slot for the first player ink well token. The larger compartment is for the ink tokens (black) and the smaller is for the ink remover tokens (white).

Setup is easy. Just take off the cover, select your hardback colors and deploy the first player token. You are now all set. Draw from the ink and ink remover bins as necessary.

The case is just wide enough to fit between the manual and prestige tracker board. It will also fit when the player cards are on either side, but the optimal fit is when the player cards are shoved to the opposite end. Additionally, this is just thick enough to comfortably fit with sleeved cards.

NOTE: The first player marker has a distinctive "arch". When placing it in the slot, be sure to have the center of the "arch" pointing upward. Basically the feather end should be near the hardback slots and the inkwell towards the ink remover bin. Otherwise, you'll have to tip the base upside down to get the first player marker out.

NOTE 2: I'm offering to print these for anyone in need. Visit my Etsy shop if you are interested. Store All The Bits
