Shadow Kingdom of Valeria - Folded Space Insert: Review

Shadow Kingdom of Valeria - Folded Space Insert: Review

Disclaimer: A review copy for the insert was provided by the publisher.

Introduction:

If you have read my original review of Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria, you would know it is one of my favourites. This is why I was so excited to gain a review copy of the officially licensed insert.

Organisation:

The insert is highly organised, each player has their own tray, organised to the side in stacks of three. Each card type has its own divided section, and what's better is that the insert contains spacing for both expansions, something that I am excited to fit into the base box.

Quality:

I have never assembled a foamboard insert before and I was pleasantly amazed by the quality. Not only is each insert sturdy but also contains the amazing art we’ve all come to know and love from Valeria.

Ease of Creation:

The insert couldn't be easier to assemble as each piece has a detailed instruction on how to do this. The only difficult aspect is that at the end each piece needs to be glued together to keep the stability of the insert over time.

Final Thoughts:

-  Amazing art from the game on insert components.
- Easy to assemble and sturdy.
- Built with the expansions in mind.

If you are a fan of Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria to the level that you have already invested in the two expansions already released, then this is a product that you will want to seek out. Each piece of the game is now carefully curated with this insert that includes iconic art and the feeling that it rounds-off the already solid package. I haven't dealt with Folded Space inserts before but after the unexpected pleasure of this one I will be keeping an eye out for their brand in the future.
