I have a new 3D printer ready and loaded

So, for some time I have been reading here some post about people who found cool things to 3D print related with boardgames and being the geek that I am and now that Ihave my own 3D printer (after 4 days building and callibrating it I think it is all set up!) I was wondering what do you thin I must print. Do you know any list of goodies to print like dice towers, game organizers, trays… I don’t know, anything you have came across about boardgaming that has made you say, I want to print that! I just wanted to know what do you guys think.

[Kickstarter] Santorini is live!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roxley/santorini-learn-it-in-30-seconds-play-it-for-life?ref=discovery

 

One of my favorite pure-strategy games is getting an actual, full release (hopefully). I’m just finishing making a custom acrylic minimalist board for it, but have also backed their kickstarter. Within about 4 hours of being released, they’re almost 50% funded. I know there are other people like me who don’t have social media or twitter, and who may miss out on hearing about these more ‘niche’ releases. For those in the US, $53 will be pledged for the base game, the stretch goals and shipping included. In CAD, about $70. If you’re looking for a runthrough, Rahdo has done one (which is linked on the KS page). But, I can assure you the game is very simple to learn!

 

It’s a great strategic and tactical game that is not stressful or sabotage-y (though there are extra powers/cards that allow you more direct interaction if that is your thing). It’s a modular game that builds both out and up, and this release has some great components (though many of the older fans preferred the original, more minimalist version of the game). It has been playtested for years (original release was 2004). Either way, if you’re in the mood for an excellent abstract that is seriously simple to learn but has much depth, check out Santorini!

 

(I don’t work for/with/under/on/near anyone on the team, nor do I even know who they are outside of name. I just really enjoy their game). ETA: updated figures/prices.

A Glorious Chance: The Naval Struggle for Lake Ontario, 1813

Up for preorders at Legion Wargames. I am the designer of this solitaire, operational age-of-sail game about the War of 1812 on the Great Lakes. There’s lots of advance content about the game online, if you want to entertain yourself or decide whether to preorder. Rather than repost that content here, I’ll list some content links below. Use this thread to discuss the game and ask me questions!

Game page on Boardgamegeek

On the BGG game page, you can not only find discussion threads about the game, but also a PDF of the rules, screenshots, AARs by playtesters, my own development blog, and a bibliography.

Game page on Consimworld forum

The game page on CSW forum is mostly discussion, but in the header you can also find links to the rules and bibliography.

Free demo on Tabletopia

There’s a demo of the US solo campaign on the 3D boardgaming app, Tabletopia. I set up a public room where you can take a closer look at the components, and even see what it’s like to play the game in that environment.

Videos: Development of the game has continued since I posted these videos a few months ago, but watching them will certainly give you a detailed look at the gameplay to see if it’s for you:
