  • Star Wars: X-Wing organization

    My recent game of X-Wing with my son got me inspired to start designing and testing an organization tray, similar to my design for Armada.  Basically, just a way to keep the cards organized with the tokens, since the game has a lot of little pieces.  My goal is to have something simple for each…
