So now...

Why?

I play a lot of SmallWorld, logged over 100 games, through which I noticed something: there always seemed to be a dead time. This dead time was where people would begin their lose of attention and start pulling out their phones, and that was when...

Someone just picked their new race.

I or they would have to sift through all the race tokens to find the right ones, and then the additional inserts to find any special tokens.

I quickly got tired of this and made a foam core insert, which I thought would solve the problem. While it did indeed bring all the race tokens closer together, they were still a cluttered mess that still caused dead time.

Eventually, after constantly pinning of the Collectors Deluxe edition of the game, a thought occurred to me, why not make something that can...

keep ALL the tokens associated with a race WITH that race's race banner.

And thus came Version one of the 'Race Cartridge':https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2970919

You can download this version for free on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2970919

This version had two major issues, 

One; this was meant to be a long-term storage solution for the race banner and tokens, and the race banner could easily fall out if turned upside down, and all the tokens would follow. 

Two; the race slider was so loose it would constantly slide out of the cartridge with simple movements.

Both of these problems were fixed in version 2, which brings me to...

What Your Getting

Version 2:

Resolution to issue 1: Each race slider now has two pieces to it, which snap together to hold the race banner regardless of direction held. Note these pieces were designed with enough tolerance to be easily opened and retrieve the race banner if you decided to paint the cartridge later. 

Resolution to issue 2: Magnets! These suckers have mystified the world for centuries, only natural that their magic could help keep the race sliders in place. I have added slots for magnets in two positions of the cartridge and one in the slider to hold a magnet internally.

Race Specific Designs! Each race has custom slots to match their exact number of tokens for the best fit. They also include custom slots to hold all of their associated special tokens! In addition to this, if the campaign is successful I will have each race cartridge embossed with their name using the font, Vafthrudnir by Scriptorium (the same font used to denote the names on the race banners).

No Printer? ̶N̶o̶ ̶P̶r̶o̶b̶l̶e̶m̶!̶  Maybe a Problem

Upon further research just printing the Cartrdiges and trays for the base game would cost over $100, even on the cheap side of printing. Check out Update #3 "Price Quotes and More Teasers" for some quotes I found just for 14 generic Race Cartridges.
