Teflarok Storage Suggestions

These suggestions were all made for the 1st edition of Teflarok, not the 2nd edition with the wood box. If you have the 2nd edition, you might still find some inspiration here, but they were not designed specifically for it.

Box Inserts

I highly recommend that you make these simple box inserts with card stock. We have a template you can download here. They make it so much easier to remove the components, and they prevent items from slipping underneath the dividers.

I absolutely love using the game box as the bank during a game of Teflarok. It keeps the tokens separate and it prevents stacks of tokens from falling all over the place and into your play area every time the table is bumped. Bonus: you can pass the whole box of tokens to that one player who always wants to make complicated change instead of doing it for them just because you’re the one sitting closest to the bank.

 Bank Suggestion 1: Flat

Step 1. Remove all of the components from the box then dump the tokens into each compartment (50, 100, & 200 will have to share one).

Step 2. Turn the lid of the box upside-down. Put the rule book in first, then stack the extra player screens and empty token bags as evenly as you can across the space.

Step 3. Put the bottom of the box straight in. This keeps the extra components safely tucked away, and makes it easy for you to remove the bottom of the box at the end of the game (as opposed to getting suctioned together like they would if the lid was empty).

Bank Suggestion 2: Propped Up

Step 1. Same as above.
Step 2. Turn the lid of the box upside-down. Put the rule book in first, then stack the extra player screens off to one side. Put the empty token bags over top of the player screens.

Step 3. Put the bottom of the box in at an angle, so that it is propped up against the player screens. This makes it easy for players to reach the tokens that they need.

Putting the Game Away

Put the tokens away in the four cloth bags. You will have to put the 10s and 20s together, and the 50s, 100s, and 200s together. If this annoys you too much, get small plastic bags for the 20s, 100s, and 200s then tuck them into the cloth bags.

The Words of Power deck goes in one small compartment, the Rune deck is split in two into the other small compartments, and the player screens are split evenly into the two larger compartments. Put the token bags over top each deck of cards, and the skinniest token bag on top of the player screen stack of 4. Then the rule book gets placed on top of everything. The token bags prevent the decks from mixing, even when it’s turned upside-down.
