This 10-bin BitsBins set organizes Foundations of Metropolis and fits inside the original box. The coins are sorted by value, each player's pieces have their own bin, and the deed cards stay in neat stacks, so you can set up the city in minutes.
Foundations of Metropolis comes with handy tile trays, but the coins, player pieces and cards still end up loose underneath them. This set gives every one of those pieces a snap-lid bin, and the game's tile trays sit right on top of the bins, so everything goes back in the box together.
What goes where
4 Pods: the coins, sorted by value: one Pod for the 1s, one for the 3s and two for the 5s. The lids come off, so the Pods work as a bank on the table.
4 Minis: the player pieces, one Mini per player color
2 Card Boxes: the deed cards, split between the two boxes, with the player aids and the first player marker in one of them

FAQ
Do I still use the game's tile trays? Yes. The tile trays that come with Foundations of Metropolis keep the tiles organized, and they fit over the top of the bins in the box.
Does it fit the expansions? The set is built for the base game. Expansion pieces can go in extra bins from our à la carte menu.
Does everything still fit in the box? Yes. The bins sit in the bottom of the original box, with the tile trays, boards and rulebook on top.

The Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons Organizer Set was a gift for a friend. he is notoriously messy with his games, so I gave him a leg up. this was such a great choice! He loves it and will be getting more kits!
I got this as a gift along with Wyrmspan for my birthday. My family knows me well. If there's one thing I like more than board games, it's organizing board game bits! This set was my introduction to Bits Bins, and I've gone one to purchase... a whole lot more of them for other games. That's how much I appreciated what this set did to increase my enjoyment of the game... and the enjoyment of my gaming group!
It is a tight fit but it does. I had to reorganize it to accommodate the expansion by keeping the solo components on their baggies but still makes it so easy to set up and tear down.
