Here are some tips and tricks for getting the most out of our Can You Hear Me now? – KS-Deluxe insert designed to hold the 2020 Kickstarter version of Smartphone Inc.
NOTE: this version replaces the original clear plastic player trays and the accessory tray. Tips and Tricks for using our KS-Basic version (which retains the clear plastic trays), can be found here – KS-Basic – Tips and Tricks.
Packing from bottom to top:
- Put the two boards in the box, pushed to 1 corner (the playing boards should be put in first in order to make the rest of the packing work)
- Place the blue “L” shaped Directives and Mini Upgrades tray on one side of the boards with the “L” wrapped around the corner of the playing boards
- Place the white Technologies and Patents tray in the other open area next to the playing boards
- You should now have something that looks like this:
- Place the player trays and the white improvements / goods tray on top of the player boards to fill the next layer.
- Place the blue expansion markers tray and the white Retailers / Steve / Turn Markers tray on top of the player trays, aligned to the two corners of a side.
- Place the score track board, aligned to one of the remaining open corners, and place the Steve player board on top of the score track board
- Place the blue Hardcore Tile tray on top of the player trays, aligned to the remaining open corner
- You should now see something like this
- Stack the remaining items in order, from bottom to top:
- Player screens with the thicker end of the stack covering the Steve board and the thinner end of the stack covering the Hardcore Tile tray
- Remaining player manuals / expansion manuals covering the player screens, and next to the blue and white trays.
- Lastly, the full sheet Achievement List.
You will see a circular cut out area in the largest open area of the player tray. Place the CEO in this cut out, with the CEO facing the outside wall, as shown below.
The color specific starting improvement is placed in the indented area of the walls separating the 4 sections of the tray, as shown below.
During play, you can remove the CEO and use the slots in the bottom of the area to store goods tiles that you receive throughout the game. You can face these tiles in either direction.
