Euphrates & Tigris: The Insert

This will be my last boardgame surgery for a while. I thought Euphrates & Tigris would be easier than the others, but the board is just small enough compared to the box that making a standard insert (with the risers on the short edges) would leave too little space for the contents:


So I opted to put thinner inserts along the long edges. Step 1: cut out a single rectangle of cardboard 11.25" x 23.5" and fold it like so:


This forms the complete insert, and looks like this in the box:


Step 2: cut the shelves and fold the other direction, leaving a 5/8" shelf that just fits the board:


Everything fits underneath, and there's a tiny bit of space above the board for the rules and player screens:
