Free Ride Game Storage and Tokens

thingiverse

The player boxes contain the markers and cards for each player. I printed them in 5 colors, similar to the player colors in the game. The cards sit on a ledge above the player pieces. There are boxes for the coins, for the game track pieces, and for the route marker tokens (read about the route marker tokens below). The tops for these 3 boxes include text labels. If your slicer has the capability, you can insert a color change gcode (M600) just before the section that prints this text, to make the text more readable. The text is at the highest level, and is the same level on all 3 tops. All the boxes have sliding tops, with a catch to keep the lid closed. The route marker tokens are an addition to the game. They can be used to mark the active routes on the board, making it easier to make your selection. Without these tokens, you are constantly scanning back and forth between the game board and the card display. With the tokens, all the card information is also displayed on the game board. The tokens have text to make them color-blind friendly. I used these 7 colors: blue, green, black, orange, purple, red, and yellow. To make the text on the tokens easier to read, I insert a color change at the level of the text and then another color change above the text. This makes the text readable, and the station house has mostly the desired color, with a stripe of the text color near the bottom. I used white as my readable color, so you can see a white stripe in my station houses. Note: My pictured stations are an earlier version, so the lettering in the pictures might not match the STL files in this thing.
