That $90 deluxe insert for Terraforming Mars was a total waste

I bought that big plastic organizer set for all the tiny cubes and cards, but it doesn't even fit back in the box right once everything's assembled. Has anyone else had this problem or found a better storage solution that actually works?

Oh man yeah I had the exact same problem. That thing is such a pain to fit back in the box it barely closes without popping open. I ended up just tossing it and using little baggies instead, way simpler. For the cubes I just keep them in separate snack bags and it takes half the time to set up. The cards fit fine in the original slots if you don't shove the sleeves in there. Honestly the best storage I've found is just a cheap tackle box from Walmart, cost me like 8 bucks and everything fits perfect. Save your money on that fancy insert.

Tackle box is the real move honestly. I have three different board games right now where the original inserts are basically useless, and a $7 Plano box from the fishing aisle sorted all of them out. @grace_gonzalez46 you're right that fancy branded storage is usually just a trap, the cheap stuff works better half the time. It's funny how companies spend all this time on the game design but then give you a box that barely holds its own pieces.
