I love The Loop. It's colorful and funny and easy to play. I have all of the expansions and I wanted an insert to bring it all together.

I tried something a little bit different. Instead of using smaller designs for each box, I made one large image that spans the entire insert. The box lids are tiles that combine to make the image. I wanted something featuring a version of Dr Faux swirling out of a time vortex. I used Bing Image Creator to create the pics. It's powered by the Dall-E text-to-image engine. I found some fun images and went down a rabbit hole generating hundreds more.

I also made a fancy tray to hold those colorful meeples. There's a sharp contrast when you open that stark black and white lid to reveal all of those bright shapes.

This was a fun project and came together with no major problems. The intense engraving caused some warping on the lids. I should be able to get rid of most of that by getting them damp and crushing them overnight with something heavy - like the Castles of Burgundy Special Edition. The edges of the lids also got pretty crispy in some of the darker engraved areas. I could fix that by using a lighter engrave, I think.
