About this model
A taped-up cardboard box with slightly crumpled corners and a strap around the middle. It looks well travelled and a little battered. The box is about 1.5 ft square and 1 ft tall, sitting inside one square.
Use it in warehouses, offices, moving days, storerooms and back alleys. Stack a few for low cover or scatter them as clutter. Every box is a possible hiding place for evidence, contraband or a tiny creature. In a modern office, a pile of them suggests a hasty move or a company shutting down. Kicked over during a chase, they scatter across the floor and slow anyone running behind.
Ideas for the table
- A single unmarked box arrives at the party's office, and it is ticking.
- Movers carry cardboard boxes out of a crime scene, and one is heavier than it should be.
- A stray cat sleeps in a box on the loading dock and hisses at anyone sneaking past.
