Keep your Valeria games, expansions, and components tidy with a practical storage routine. Learn when a custom Folded Space insert saves shelf space and how to store expansions.
Quick answer
Start by grouping each Valeria game with its expansions, then decide whether a custom insert will save more space than bagging components. For Guild Academies of Valeria, use the Folded Space Insert for Guild Academies of Valeria to hold all components in the base box. For Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria, the Folded Space Insert for Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria holds the core game, Rise of Titans, and Riftlands in the base game box.
Sort by game family before you buy any storage
Pull every Valeria box off the shelf and group them by title. Keep the core game and its expansions together so you can see exactly how much shelf space each family needs. This prevents buying an insert for a game you rarely play while leaving a frequently played title in a messy pile.
If you own Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria, decide whether you want one box to hold everything. The Complete Bundle (Core + Riftlands + Rise of Titans) gives you all three products, but you still need a plan for storing them. A custom insert designed for that exact combination is the most space-efficient option because it replaces multiple boxes with one.
Measure your shelf and compare insert depth
Custom inserts add a small amount of height and weight to a box. Before ordering, measure your shelf clearance and compare it with the assembled insert dimensions. Folded Space inserts are designed to fit inside the original game box, so the box footprint stays the same, but the lid may sit slightly differently once everything is packed.
Check the product page for the specific insert you need. The Folded Space Insert for Guild Academies of Valeria is a custom insert only; no games or components are included. The same applies to the Shadow Kingdoms insert. That means you need to own the games already before the insert can help you.
Assemble the insert before you sort components
Folded Space inserts arrive flat and require assembly. Build the insert first, then sort your components into it. This order prevents you from creating a temporary pile that you have to move twice. Use wood glue sparingly on the joints and let it cure fully before loading heavy dice or thick cardboard tokens.
Once assembled, test-fit the insert in the empty box. It should sit flush without forcing the lid. If it does not, check that you have not reversed a panel. A common mistake is gluing a panel backward, which makes the insert too wide for the box.
Store expansions in the same box when possible
The biggest storage win is consolidating expansions into the base game box. The Folded Space Insert for Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria is designed to hold the core game, Rise of Titans expansion, and Riftlands expansion all in the base game box. That removes two expansion boxes from your shelf and keeps every card and token for that game in one place.
If you own Guild Academies of Valeria, the Folded Space Insert for Guild Academies of Valeria holds all components in the game box. There is no expansion storage claim for that insert beyond the base game, so keep any separate expansion boxes only if you actually own them. Do not assume an insert supports expansions that are not listed.
Protect components with dividers and baggies
Even with an insert, small tokens and dice can shift during transport. Use small zip baggies for loose dice and tiny tokens, and place them in the insert's dedicated compartments. Keep cards in the insert's card wells or use deck boxes if the insert does not include card dividers.
Label each compartment with a removable sticker or a piece of masking tape. This makes setup faster and helps you notice missing pieces before they roll under the table. Avoid storing heavy rulebooks on top of cards, because the pressure can warp them over time.
Your step-by-step Valeria storage routine
- Group each game with its expansions: Pull all Valeria boxes and sort them by title. Keep the core game and every expansion for that title in one pile so you can see the real shelf footprint. Checkpoint: if a game has more than two expansion boxes, consolidation will likely save the most space.
- Choose a custom insert for your most-played title: Pick the insert that matches the exact game and expansions you own. For Guild Academies of Valeria, use the Guild Academies insert. For Shadow Kingdoms with both expansions, use the Shadow Kingdoms insert. Common mistake: buying an insert for a game you do not own or for expansions that are not covered by that insert.
- Assemble the insert and test-fit it empty: Glue and assemble the insert, let it cure, then place it in the empty box. The lid should close without force. Fix any reversed panels before loading components. Checkpoint: if the lid bulges, stop and recheck the panel orientation before you add glue to other joints.
- Load components by category, not by box: Put dice together, tokens together, and cards in card wells. Use baggies for loose pieces and label each compartment. This makes setup faster and reveals missing pieces sooner. Common mistake: mixing expansion components into the wrong compartment, which slows down setup when you only want the base game.
- Store the consolidated box on the shelf, not on the floor: Keep the box horizontal and away from direct sunlight and damp floors. Do not stack heavy boxes on top of it, because pressure can warp cards and dent the insert. Next step: if you still have empty expansion boxes, recycle them only after you confirm every component fits in the base box.
