Spent $80 on a foam core insert for Terraforming Mars and it's actually worth it

I was skeptical but the setup time dropped from 10 minutes to like 2. Anyone else find inserts game-changing or just a gimmick?

I watched a YouTube video where this guy tested 15 different inserts and the Terraforming Mars one was the only one he said actually cut setup time in half. Might have to grab one now.

oh man my buddy actually got that same insert and he told me a story where his cat knocked the box off the shelf and all the pieces went everywhere. he said it took him an hour to sort them back into the insert spots because he didn't have the game set up to reference. so i guess your mileage may vary there.

ok but i gotta disagree with @jade_johnson here, i bought the terraforming mars insert and honestly it just stressed me out more. like yeah setup is faster but now i have to be super careful putting everything back in the exact right spot or the lid won't close. plus my friend always messes up the organization and then it takes even longer to fix than the original setup time. it feels like a lot of money just to save a few minutes of sorting cardboard.
