Let’s get it to the table
Let's go and see what kind of nice and beautiful parts are in this box. Considering the games they have worked on, I have very high expectations of them.
First of all, let's look at the box of the designer package. This looks very nice in terms of graphics alone, but if you open the box you get to see even more cool graphics in which some kind of spaceship is going to land on a planet. There are also all kinds of small boxes in it, 4 of them small and 1 slightly larger. What is really cool is that each box opens in a different way. With this, they immediately show what possibilities there are at LongPack Games.
The designer box on the right you see the tiny boxes with all the different components in it. Isn't the design awesome or awesome?
Let us first start with the big box;
It contains 2 miniatures of the game Dark Ages, they look very nice and detailed. Besides that, they also feel very solid in terms of quality.

In the small box number 1 there are cards, these are not cards of a game but an example of the possibilities. These also look good, of course a bit small because of the sizes (57 mm) but that should not spoil the fun, in this case it is mainly about the possibilities.

Overall impression:
The components and examples of the possibility are really great! But besides that, the artwork is also very nice and nicely done. Everything that is in the box fits together very well and they definitely show the possibilities of what is possible at LongPack Games.
I must say that I am very enthusiastic and surprised by this Designer Pack, I actually expected some examples but not that so much attention would be given to examples. If you're interested in all of their work and what they can do for you and your company, then take a look at their website. I really want to thank LongPack Games for sending me this Designer Pack of 2021.
