Description
A replacement insert for The Red Dragon Inn 4 that accommodates sleeved cards…

… and I also wanted to consolidate the few extra Allies I purchased into the same base/core box.
In order to achieve this, I have 3 models:
These 3 bin work together in the sense the player board sits on top of the Main but is held in place by the Token and Double which are a tad taller. Finally, there's a little room left on top of everything for the rule book and my 4 Allies' character sheets. All fits in my box without lid-lift…
Disclaimers: As you will see from the pictures, I had to split the print for the Main as my printer's bed wasn't big enough. From that same picture, you will notice some slots have a divider between decks while some don't. I simply wanted to show that, using Captain Whitehawk as an example, one sleeved deck will fit here as opposed to two un-sleeved ones atop and across (Cara and another deck below).
Also, some (if not most/all) of the expansions comes with additional tokens. So the deck right atop of Captain Whitehawk is also un-sleeved but has all of the extra tokens I ran out of storage space (especially gold)… I keep these in place with a simple deck divider that sits on top of it all… If you want, you can still use this one for the original insert; just ensure you cut out one of the tabs first…

Also from these pictures, you will also notice the Sea Event Deck fits very loosely. That's an error on my part. I have fixed the spacing (top/down) on this published model so it's better suited but left the sideway (L/R) as is as it serves as a way to reach out and remove these cards...
In order to further maximize space, especially for the tokens, one could remix these by narrowing the top/bottom edges of the Main and Double; take that extra space and increase the tokens bin by the same margin. If you do, please be reminded the player boards will then extend of top of the tokens so you'll need to adjust the height of inward wall and dividers to accommodate. Given how old this game is and how many other versions are out there, I figured no one would be interested in this solution so I decided to not invest the time…
