The Dominion Collectors Case was an attempt by Hans im Glück at designing an official storage solution for Dominion and its expansions.[1] It was designed by Christof Tisch and intended to hold three large expansions and one set of basic cards plus one small expansion. The case was a tall cardboard box with a handle at the top and five trays for holding cards and components. The top was divided into four cardboard trays with staggered slots to hold all the cards. The bottom tray held the basic cards, randomizers, and other game components such as tokens.
The box was produced on-demand by Cundco.de (the Hans im Glück online store)[2] and was not successful with the public. Reasons why it failed were its high price of €39.99, its inability to hold all currently-released expansions, and the fact that it was constructed entirely out of cardboard with an exposed side. It also required 4- to 8-weeks to manufacture and ship once ordered. A promised box designed to hold 6,000 cards was never released.
Hans im Glück lost the license to distribute Dominion at the end of 2012 and the box is no longer available to the public.
Product Description
The original advertisement, translated from German, for the product stated:
- This is the case for Dominion. Or even the Collector Case!
- What do the case?
- Both cases are made of a very stable, high-quality corrugated board.
- This case has printed 5 subjects. In this case, it is equipped with Dominion drawers. It fit the base card and a small extension (Alchemy, Cornucopia) in the top drawer. This is followed by 3 drawers for editions or large extensions (26 slots). Finally, there is a drawer for randomizers and promo cards. The pockets for the cards are so large that fit well cards with cases. The case comes assembled with a sturdy handle.
- In addition, there will be soon cases that can hold 6,000 cards.Thus a fan can store all their cards. These will be available in store in the next few weeks with us.
- We keep no inventory of the Collector Case since it is made to order. Once it is finished, it will be sent to you directly from the manufacturer. It therefore has delivery times of about 4 weeks, in some cases expect up to 8 weeks!
- You can leave your case individually labeled. More can be found here..
