One thing I notice is, you separate out the Ruins cards. There's no need or reason to do that - you want the pile shuffled thoroughly every time you play.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Agreed. Also, I don't see any space for cards from the original Dominion set.

The page that link leads to has an image that's wrong.

But there's a link on that page to the right one, and that does show space for all cards.

Thanks for the information.  We recently picked up Dark Ages and haven't read through the rules yet or played with them.  We will look at redesigning this so it makes more sense.

The original Dominion set can be placed on the far left (at least, that is where we put in in our design).  You can take a look at the image here: https://www.valtagamecase.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/valta_concept_uber_dominion_card_case.pdf.

We wanted to keep the design consistent with 26 slots per column to help reduce costs (cheaper to cut the same design then a separate one for each column).  Since some expansions have less than 26 sets of cards, we just made the spot available for blank cards, but they can be used for any cards really. 

You also do not need to put the cards in the order we laid out.  Some people may want to put them in alphabetical order or some other method of organization. 

This is also our very first design and we plan to modify it as we get feedback from people like you.

Sincerely,

I would personally much rather have all the cards in alphabetical order than separated by set. However, I realize that many other people would rather have it separated by set; so I'm not sure of a good way to please everyone there...

I don't know what their plan is for labelling the slots, but if there's an insert that drops into the bottom of each column, they could print two sets of inserts.  One sorts by sets as the picture currently shows, the other sorts strictly alphabetically.

Actually, we are not using labels at all--the cards will peek out high enough to read the name (the cards will be standing vertically).  We know people have many different ways they like their cards sorted.  This way, people can sort them any way they want.  We decided to put the treasure, victory, and randomizer cards in the middle since they add a lot of extra weight.  This will keep the case stable during travel.

Is there a cover?
Yes.  This is just the internal part; sorry for the confusion.  The outer case is still being developed.

The Unofficial Dominion Card Case will be launching on Kickstarter this weekend or early next week.


Here is a design drawing of what the outer case will look like.  Be sure to sign up for the mailing list to get notified when the project is launched:

Unfortunately, our manufacturer was not able to get us a price estimate for the case by today.  They installed a new system and it was slowing things down.  I need to wait until next week to launch the project on Kickstarter.  In the meantime, you can check out this video of how The Unofficial Dominion Card Case will work:

yes, this is looking pretty neat.  Also, I'm a terrible person, because the first thing I noticed in that video is that Rogue is spelled "rouge".  Why do these things just jump out at me??

My friends made the animation for me so I guess after typing in over 200 card names, I was bound to get one wrong.  It's unfortunate though.

I would simply ask for a re-render of the video, but it took almost a week of non-stop processing to complete it.  Hopefully, it will not deter anyone from pledging!
