Arkham Horror Card Game - Second Chapter Insert

I designed this insert for the Arkham Horror LCG Second Chapter box with a focus on organization and faster setup.

I’ve designed several inserts for card-heavy games over time and picked up a lot of feedback along the way. This version reflects those improvements and aims to better match what dedicated card players expect.

Key Features

• Fits sleeved cards (tested with Matte Dragon Shields; see photos)
• Token trays with rounded bottom corners for easier pickup
• Closed-lid card and token trays with snap-fit lids for vertical storage
• Labelled lids for easy organization of tokens and cards
• Extra Dice tray and Extension box for future and custom content
• Separators for investigators, scenarios, and encounters
• Extra spacers to fill gaps and keep cards neatly packed
• Custom Spacer to help keep your cards in place.

Alternate Files

An alternate token tray with a wooden crate exterior is also included. It’s optional and provided as-is. If you choose to print it, higher detail settings help the look (0.12 mm layer height worked well for me). Note that I drybrushed my crates with earthy tones to make the patterns pop out.

Alternative files are available for those without an AMS. For best results, print these with the labels facing the print bed.

The layout stays compact while making setup and teardown quicker at the table.

Alternative Files for boxes:

If you use Dragon Shield Matte sleeves and are concerned that the cards need to lean a bit in the box, there are three solutions that are available for you:
 

The "Quick and Easy" option:
A new part called “Wedge” can be printed to support your cards at the proper angle inside the box. This removes pressure from the cards while keeping the original setup. Print two per box.

The "Yeah but..." option:
File: “Cards - Sleeved - Box - Adjusted Height”
This allows cards to stand fully upright and still use the same lids. However, the boxes become taller, so you’ll also need to print two "Levelling Plate -Adjusted Height” and place them at the bottom under the Token and Expansion boxes.
Trade-off: this removes almost all space for manuals. You’ll need to store them outside or accept lid lift.

The "Something in between" option:
File: “Cards - Sleeved - No Lid”
This is a lidless frame that allows upright cards while keeping space for manuals. Since there’s no lid, cards are less secure if the box is stored vertically.
A "Levelling Plate - Grid Box” is also available and used the same way, though it only adds 0.6 mm. Optional unless you want everything perfectly flush.
