D.I.Y.: 7th Continent

This past weekend, I went on another little DIY journey. This time, it was for the exploration game 7th Continent.

In addition to the main game, I own several expansions.  As can be expected, all those extra cards will not fit in the original box.  While the company does sell an official game box for the expansions, as I said in my last D.I.Y. article, I’m cheap. So instead, I started looking for a good box that would work well with little to no reconfiguration.  Shockingly, I found a box that pretty much fit my needs.  It was a single unit that closed securely and had a foam cut out in which the cards fit perfectly.  

Originally, I had planned to just leave it looking as is, white with tape and labels. However, after my recent projects, I felt it wouldn’t take much for me to clean it up a bit.  A graphic of the original box artwork and some photo clean-up, and soon I had printed several sheets to cover the box. I finished it up with a laminate overlay and, by the end of the morning, I had a second card box that paired well with the original game. 

(I really need to remember to take a “before” picture prior to starting these projects.)
