For anyone else who wants to save the game to replay in the future this may help. I have only played the first game session in a group of four.I don't like the idea of a game you can only play and experience once. I know I will forget many details after a few years and likely will want to play the campaign again. If it is great, maybe multiple times. To date I have never sold or flipped a game, and don't plan to if the game even half decent.
After the first game you obtain the conductors box with a ticket punch and stickers to be placed in the game manual. I am assuming there are likely no other permanent changes while playing, as the board already has markings which I assume are used in future play sessions.
A solution to avoid punching the tickets is to buy 8mm coloured Dot Stickers. I bought some from Amazon for under 10 dollars. I place these on the tickets instead of punching them. Use a colour that is not used by any player, like purple which is the colour I had at the time. Ideally any stickers will be thin so as to not noticeably affect the ticket deck when shuffling or drawing cards.
A potential solution for the game manual and stickers. Do not remove the stickers from the backing. Using scissors, slightly trim the stickers or stickers borders so they fit in the manual and do not cover other details. I also wrote which box they came from on the back of each sticker, this does appear to be on the border already for the first few and may not be necessary. I then used a low tack removable tape, painters tape may work which is what I am trying at the moment to place them in the manual.
Later to refresh / replay the campaign carefully remove the stickers from the manual, remove the tape. Place them back in their boxes. Remove the Dot stickers from the ticket cards. Also I assume replace all post cards in order and re-order the story deck. Likely also have to organize the later session board pieces in some way.
Anyway hope this helps and maybe others have even other good suggestions but please avoid additional spoilers.
