Description

A 250x250x18 mm board with hundreds of holes (572 to be exact). Game pieces with matching pins can easily be designed to create your own board game!

The included STL is too large for most printers, but it looks much better made from wood anyway.

Here's a list of games so far (I'll include any of your remixes as soon as I see them):

  1. TwixT, Reversi, Go & similar 1-on-1 strategy games 
  2. German-style Pachisi 
  3. Suspension-based balance game

Instructions

Thingiverse user JMP has uploaded a pretty neat solution to printing a large board which could be adapted to print a board like this. But since I already have my board and prefer woodwork, I won't do that myself in the very near future ;-)

Here's all you need to know to drill or print your own board:

  • Board: 250x250x[≥15] mm
  • Holes: 4 mm diameter, ≥ 8 mm deep, 10 mm apart
  • Pins on game pieces: 3.8 mm diameter, 7 mm long, multiples of 10 mm apart
