I want to speak a bit more on this particular tool so I'll end with a video. This could apply to any efficiency you're offered in your creative process. They're not all bad, but if you don't question their effect on you or others, you might unintentionally find yourself somewhere you didn't intend.

An intended upgrade for Rune Rite. Instead of a punchboard "stone altar" that players must assemble, a cardstock insert in the bottom of the box for both storage and gameplay. Crackling with powah! #boardgames

A 3D rendering of the bottom of the box for the board game Rune Rite. It features an insert that forms a square well for cards and is part of the gameplay.
