Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 3 customer ratings
(3 customer reviews)

Gate B53 is a board game insert designed to hold all the pieces for the 2nd edition of the Now Boarding game from Fowers Games. With this insert you can ditch the baggies and save time setting up and putting away the game.  See below for details on how to tell the 1st edition from the 2nd edition.

This insert is a single piece, tailored to the exact size of the game box. There is just enough room at the top of the box to hold the board, setup card, and manual while still keeping to the original box profile when closed. This insert holds everything in place even when stored on its side or carried.

Features of the insert include:

  • Pieces arranged similar to how a player builds their plane
  • Concealed area under the tail pieces for storing anger cubes
  • Card / Tile compartments have side cut outs for loading / unloading, as well as push through holes at the bottom to ease unloading if desired
  • Cockpit compartment has risers to enable storage of two engine tiles for better overall profile
  • Plane hanger on the right stores each plane in an individual slot
  • Unique corner lifter makes it easier to remove the rule book and other cards
  • Game can be set up / played / and stored without the need for removing the insert from the box if desired

The 2nd edition comes with a single sand timer, consequently, one of the two timer wells will be left empty. You can use that one to position the corner lifter as shown in the photos. The corner lifter is provided to make it easier to lift out the rule book and the other cards when unpacking.

When packing the game, place the corner lifter in an open corner as shown, then place the rule book, followed by the remaining sheets / cards.  Finally place the game board on top.

Due to the constraints on size, this insert does not support sleeved cards.

    The insert makes setting up the game much faster, which means I get to spend more time playing. It looks fun and engaging as soon as you open the box (instead of seeing a messy mountain of baggies) which makes it easier to get friends excited about the game. And I love that it’s designed so that it still looks like a plane when everything is packed away— it feels truly in keeping with the spirit of the game. Delightful!
