indicated in the instructions as a reminder.

17. Using a ruler and a craft knife, carefully cut out the Stickers by
following the cutting guides. Affix the Stickers to the side of the
Deck Organizer. There are small gray markers that show where
the Stickers go.

Make sure that the Stickers match up with the Labels on the Lid.

Assembly Tip:

Use only the Stickers of the villains that you have. If

you plan on adding more villains in the future, hold
onto the remaining Stickers.

18. Insert the Deck Organizer into your game box and populate it
with the villain decks. The Deck Organizer will fit into both the
base game box and the expansion boxes, provided that the
original storage trays are removed.

Storage Tip:

Since you may need to rearrange the contents of

your game box(es) as you expand your game, it is
recommended that you do not glue or tape the Deck
Organizer into the box.

If you store your game box on its side, place the Deck
Organizer inside so that it either sits vertically, or lies
on its side at the very bottom of the box. This will
keep it from shifting around.

Congratulations; you’ve completed the Disney

Villainous Deck Organizer!

As new expansions are released, new Stickers/Labels

will be added for you to print out.
