Aeon Trespass: Odyssey | Four Tips to Make Your Game Better (Incl. Kaan's Box Organization Ideas)

It's taken us a bit of time, but we've gotten through Cycle I of Aeon Trespass: Odyssey and wanted to share some hacks that we've learned along the way that have made the process easier, which is always helpful in big, campaign-style games like this one.
We have four and a half tips for you, including Kaan's crack method for organizing the cards / box (which is a bit a beast) -- Video chapters provided so feel free to jump around.
For Tip 2, here is the link the to print-out mentioned from the Esoteric Order of Games: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/25...

I love to paint miniatures of all various things from the likes of Games workshop, be it Warhammer 40000, Warhammer Fantasy, Horus Heresy, Age of Sigmar to their smaller games like Kill Team, Warcry or Warhammer Underworlds. I’ve always been a big of a fan of Space Marines -- especially the Blood Angels, the first ever army I had from 3rd edition (super looking forward to Warhammer 40K 10th edition!). At some point I’m hoping to pick up the reins and get back in miniature wargaming hopefully this new edition. Also on occasion I’ll even paint up Dungeons & Dragons minis but one thing I’ve been really loving painting is Kingdom Death Monster. Just great and interesting miniatures especially the monsters. Hopefully you’ll find that we make great painting for beginners videos plus engaging content in the general hobby related space. If any of these things interest you then you’ve come to the right place!

My solution for the map problem is to set the battle grid directly on top of the map. You have to note the location of the Argo and the Adversary beforehand, but it's worked like a charm otherwise.

As someone who might be getting involved in creating some sponsored content for this game, this video was really useful. Thank you!

[@WrathofMinis]

We’re so very glad you found it informative!

After spending an exhausting day at the office, going through tons of paperwork you can finally sit down and relax with this game while doing exactly the some exhausting red tape.

[@ptastydactyl]

Thank you for this breakdown. The scale of this game is a little overwhelming so it's nice to know I can come back to this video when the game gets delivered next year.

[@WrathofMinis]

Glad it was helpful!

Great suggestions - I invested in a small-medium sized collapsable table for the map, most of the time you dont need to lay it all out and avoiding tear down and setup for battles saved a huge amount of time. Box setup wise i used a similar process for all the tokens and terrian (although wasn't keeping the zig zag pieces vertically - definitely going to adopt that). I moved all the technology cards to binders (cycle specific) with the corresponding gear cards that the technology creates. That meant i had plenty of space in the box insert for sleeved cards and baggies for the different mini card selections. Expect the binder upgrade in the latest kickerstarter will probably be similar? Anyway great video as always! Hope you guys enjoy cycle 2 and maybe some more primordial painting videos for that set (found the temos one very helpful!)

one thing I do with games that have a lot of dice and tokens is to buy large handman/screw/bolt boxes and store all of that in those, free's up room inside the box and keeps tokens in order and easy to find/get too. I play a lot of campaign games as well.

[@marmaladegrrl]

Great tips. Thanks. There’s an add on that looks good for managing resources, but this box layout is so handy.

App is beautiful but cannot beat pencil and paper feel and smell. I don't even find it faster, less fiddly but not faster.
