Funhouse – Tips and Tricks

Here are some tips and tricks for getting the most out of our Funhouse insert designed to hold The Grand Carnival board game.

What is the best way to load/pack the game box?

To load the box:

  1. Place the 4 player boards in the bottom of the box
  2. Place the short light brown attractions tray (holds the 1’s and 2’s attractions) and one of the long light brown attractions trays (either one, doesn’t matter) on top of the player boards, aligned to one of the long sides as shown below
  3. Place the large light blue tile tray and the grey tray with the tickets and guest pawns next to the two trays  
  4. Place the Tricks of the Trade Cards tray (longer light blue tray) and the remaining Attractions tray (light brown) on top of the attractions trays.  You should have something like the below
  5. Place the railyard board over the ends of the tile tray and attractions tray
  6. Place the 4 player trays and the circular grey Carnival Barker tray on top of the railyard board
  7. Place the remaining 2 light blue trays in the remaining spaces.  You should have something like this
  8. Place the rule book on top
Loading the 4's and 5's Attractions Trays

Loading most of the attraction sets (1’s, 2’s, 3’s) in to their trays can be fairly easily figured out on the fly, but the 4’s and 5’s tray may need a little more thought.  While there are a multitude of different ways to arrange the attractions to fit, here is a PDF you can download and print (sized for 4×6 paper, but can also print and trim on regular paper)
