Description
I learned about this game from a friend and started researching. It isn't widely known in the USA, but I was able to find some games online and decided to model up the game in Tinkercad. I have other marble games that use five per player, so I went ahead and created this version with five versus four marbles.
Extra items needed:
Pieces needed for x players:
Once all the pieces are printed, insert the starting location color markers in place on each player board. Then insert each unique player color markers in place in the starting kennel locations and finish locations on each player board. I thought the color marker fit was good enough to not need any glue. If you find the color markers too tight, please adjust the size by 1%. See pictures for examples of arrangement of the color marker locations.

In the USA, I have found www.MoonMarbles.com to be a great supplier for marbles.
Print settings:
Player boards - .4 mm nozzle, .20mm layer height, 15% infill (I used triangles), 3 walls, and 4 top and bottom layers
Player color markers - .4 mm nozzle, .20mm layer height, and 100% infill
I have not tried to scale down the print files to fit on 225mm beds, but it should work. If anyone does scale it down, please post what ratio you used and how the fit of the color markers and connections work for your scale down ratio.
Four person player board is 225mm x 250mm x 16mm
6-8 person player board is 250mm x 125mm x 16mm
color marker is 17.9mm diameter x 6.8mm height
Please share your prints and let me know how you like the game.
