Thanks. It's fun.

So here we go.... Second board print with black circles on the board as I ran out of blue and stage by stage pics for Nifty

Start of the short board print



Completed short section



Counters completed



The white circles raft takes shape



Petals



Black circles starting on the new Lokbuild surface



Multiple sized circles completed



Assembly begins. The small circles required tweezers to position them and all the parts were a little tighter this time, so once lined up a tap with the handle end of a screwdriver seated them. If you build one the small circles will test your patience! The petals were the opposite, a little bit loose so a dab of superglue made sure they will not come out

Finished. There is a little bit of clean up to do as some smaller circular parts did not break away cleanly from the raft, but a scalple will easily remove the extra bits. On hindsight I should have really slowed down the printer for the circles but no ne will notice when they are playing

Great job, Red! Since you introduced this game to the forum I have become a fan. Fun!

Wow, amazing!!!

Nice one Redbrickman and very well Illustrated photos, when your doing anything small it’s better to print that bit slower to avoid any flutter but saying that, there is nothing wrong with your output, it looks excellent.

Any competitors, companions or challengers for a game yet, because it can’t be played online like you would with Chess, so I reckon maybe the pub might be a good place to encourage some followers..

P.S. I wouldn’t go using a scalpel on any small plastic parts because you might end up piercing your fingers instead.. Ouch...

The only place I've found to play the game so far is online and you can play against people or the computer.

Here is the link for the "practice" game you can play against the computer: https://www.yourturnmyturn.com/java/ur/index.php

Does anyone know of a free version that you can download and play on one's own?
