    ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
I've always been a big fan of board games.  Not until a few years back, I really began collecting a lot of different board games.  I believe I owe it all to Settlers of Catan.

Since then, my game collection rocketed above the 100 mark and I became an avid Board Game Geek.  One thing that I've always loved about board games was the activity of first opening them up and checking out all the pieces.  A game with tons of pieces gives me a warm feeling inside.  But with tons of pieces comes the problem of organizing them (if the company did not provide a good way to do this).  The main culprit is Fantasy Flight Games, as they do not provide a way to organize the box contents well - and they also waste tons of space in their boxes!  I would like to give credit to Days of Wonder for their wonderful organization of BattleLore.

I happened to come across some files for Arkham Horror "tuck boxes" on BGG created by a user named hholzgrafe.  I would like to acknowledge Helen for generating these wonderful tuck boxes for various games.  She has given me the idea for this method of storage and also provided the templates on which I based the main code of this program on.  [ Please also check out her amazing boxes she created for holding Twilight Imperium 3's hex-shaped map pieces.  I have no intention on writing code to create something with more than 4 sides! ]

Of course, the process for generating the PDF files from scratch was time consuming.  What I envisioned was a program that could take a few variables and spit out a PDF file for the tuck box.  What you see here is what I created to handle this task.  I hope that you enjoy it and don't run into too many bugs!
