Funtley Mill – Travel Box for the Furnace Board Game

Our Funtley Mill travel box provides a complete solution for storing all the pieces of the board game Furnace from Ivan Lashin, published by Hobby World. With this travel box, you can leave your original game box behind and take the entire game to a game night or on holiday to introduce the family to this wonderful little engine builder / auction game.ย  Included with the insert are 2 cards that fit neatly in the box and summarize all the rules of the base game, the variant, and the 2-player game. The compact size of this travel box enables you to conveniently pack it away in a duffle bag or satchel and save the wear and tear on your original game box.

The travel box is small enough that it can neatly fit inside the original box, if you so desire, and should allow enough remaining room to also store the optional player mat within the original box.

Optionally, you can completely bling out your game with the replacement resources and upgrade tokens we’ve designed to further support the theme and provide a nice variety over the original cubes and shapes. See below for additional details.

For those who are curious about the name, “Funtley Mill” follows from the Funtley Iron Mill in the village of Funtley, just north of Fareham, Hampshire, England.ย  It was at this iron mill that Henry Cort first implemented what was to be a revoluti0nary process, called puddling, for producing wrought iron of a much higher quality.ย  This was one of the major contributors to the industrial revolution.
