Can we talk about the cardboard insert in my new copy of Ark Nova completely collapsing during setup

It happened right on my kitchen table yesterday, scattering all the wooden animal pieces and forcing me to spend 20 minutes sorting everything into plastic bags instead.

That's the worst. Was it the whole insert or just one section that gave out? My friend's copy had the player board tray completely fall apart, like the glue just failed on all the corners. Made setup take forever.

Ugh, did it just EXPLODE into a pile of sad cardboard bits? My copy of that game had the insert for the resource tokens totally give up, so every time I opened the box it was like a wooden rainbow avalanche. @miles_perez, your friend's tray falling apart sounds even more brutal, honestly. Nothing says "game night" like spending twenty minutes just trying to build the stupid ORGANIZER before you can even start. Feels like some of these companies use glue made from old candy.
