Description
I designed and manufactured a fully playable balance-based board game.
This project is a redesigned version of the board game BarbeCubes, recreated with a focus on 3D design and additive manufacturing.
The goal of the game is for each player to place food items onto the grill grate using toothpicks, without causing any of the items to fall. Precision, steady hands, and strategy are key to success.
Every component of the game is downloadable and 3D printable, with the exception of:
-the toothpicks
-the salt shaker, which serves as the balancing base for the grill grate
I also uploaded the food cards (pdf), which I designed myself. These cards determine which food item must be placed during each round.
The complete game rules are included as well(pdf).
