Bastion 100+ XL Pink

The Bastion 100+ XL in pink does the same structural job as the rest of the line and solves one extra problem: you can find it. On a four-player table covered in black boxes, black playmats and black dice trays, a pink shell is the one nobody picks up by mistake, and the one you spot in the bottom of a bag in two seconds.

Underneath the colour it is a serious case. Gamegenic rates it for 100 double-sleeved cards in thick inner sleeves, at 3.9 x 3.46 x 3.03 in overall. The closure is a click-lock rather than a friction fit, so it stays shut in a backpack, and the box separates into two symmetrical halves that stand up as draw and discard piles during play.

Translucent panels and the flap placement mean the front card stays visible with the box closed, so a shelf of these reads at a glance. A write-on sticker comes in the box if you would rather label than memorise. It also takes Mini Snap cases, Slide Card Cases and Cube Pockets.

Who should skip it: anyone carrying two decks at once. This holds one, deliberately. For double capacity look at the Stronghold 200+ XL. Pink is also the easy gift choice for a player who owns nothing but black gear and has never thought about it.
