final size of 6E box?

[Raygun1911]

So I can plan my airline lugage on Oct 20th, what is the final size of the 6E box?

Thanks
Ray

24" x 20" x 6", if memory serves, but I didn't readily find a reference for that.

I've seen it in person. It's HUGE.

Buzzactly. Per Update #84:

For the Kickstarter box:

Box size: 24 by 20 by 5.8 inches
Box weight: 25.2 pounds
Maps laid out: 31 square feet
Maps laid out end-to-end: 13.8 feet long
Counter sheets laid out unpunched: 29.9 square feet
No. of 2-D counters: 1,100
No. of 3-D counters: 104
Total no. of counters: 1,204

The retail box is the same size, but slightly lighter with slightly fewer counters (3 sheets, iirc).

Is that the size of the box, or of the shipping carton?

The box. The shipping carton will be larger.

It's not a game; it's a fold-out country. ;)

The footprint of the shipping carton should be only slightly larger (cardboard thickness, so probably 25"x21" or so). My understanding (from many updates ago) is that the counters are shipping outside the box, so the shipping carton is probably 10-12" high.

[The Ogre garage, counter tray, and boards fill the box even when empty, so the unpunched counters need to be outside. Once punched, they fit in the box.]

Edit: I vaguely remember seeing a brown cardboard box with the Ogre logo, but I can't find it on Kickstarter or BGG. Anyone else remember the picture?

I don't remember one that had Ogre printed on it, but I do remember seeing a pic of an 8'x4' piece of cardboard, and the info indicated that it was ONE shipping carton for ONE copy of the game.

You'll need to plan to check the Ogre carton; it won't fit in any overhead bins I'm aware of.

It'd probably be a better idea to ship it home, at least then you can insure it.

As additional insurance, if you have access to real money, get a flight case to pack it in.
My local military surplus had some that might work for that purpose, last time I was in there.

KangarooCases is based in Dallas, BTW.
