Root channels can still hold ritual stuff though, they dug around roots back then too.

Used to roll my eyes at the flip lip thinking it was just extra weight for no reason. Borrowed a set last month and now I get it, the pins grabbing the deck is a game changer. Mine are aluminum so they're not too bad to lift, maybe look for that if the steel ones are killing you.

The real trick with TI4 is figuring out where the time actually goes, it's not setup, it's five people staring at their fleet for 20 minutes deciding where to go. We started using a turn timer on a phone and it fixed more than any insert ever could.
