3D printing and sprucing up your board games

By Meeple Lady | July 22, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment

I’ve been spending some time at my local library recently. A friend of mine has introduced my board-game group to the awesome world of 3D printing! If you follow me on Snapchat (@MeepleLady), I snapped a little bit of the process last week. After taking a training class and signing a waiver, I now have access to reserve printer time and print out ALL THE THINGS!

Man, where did the time go? It’s already mid-July, and it’s still hotter than hell. I’m so ready for the Phoenix summer to be over! I’ve been staying inside a lot, playing board games naturally. Even amid all the Pokemon Go excitement (yes, I totally downloaded the game), I’m still not venturing outside too much, unless I really have to. And with that, there are two new games I’ve played in the past two weeks, and a couple oldies but goodies …

NEW POST: In mid-November, my husband and I drove to Tucson for @rincongamestucson. This convention happened a little later than its usual late-September time slot, so, for the first time ever, I had two back-to-back weekend conventions to attend. I powered through because I love attending this convention every year. It's so chill and friendly, a nice respite after a hectic few weeks. Here's what I played.

NEW POST: I love learning about history, I love learning about people’s game designs, and I love playing all types of games. And I’ve been lucky to have gamed with some of the coolest and interesting people in the hobby! Here's what I played at @sdhistcon.

Last night, I had the pleasure of playing in a giant game of John Company at @sdhistcon! We had four members in each of the four families on the board, and Cole and Drew ran the game that Cole created. It was a night of chaotic yelling, voting, wheeling and dealing we as tried to keep the company afloat, which we ultimately failed to do so as the game goes. My Hastings family members included Mark, Ananda and Sebastian. What a night!

I love logic puzzles and own the book Murdle Vol. 1. So when this book came out in a board game form, I had to try it! This was a fun implementation of the puzzles! There are 4 case cards, and you're trying to figure out which suspect used which weapon in which room, and only one set of the combos are the guilty party! Players know different starting information, and turns are spent revealing something from your chart. If you place an X, you get to look at one thing from one of the case cards, but if you place a checkmark, you can look at more information from the case cards. The puzzle slowly reveals itself and the first one to decipher the guilty party wins. Lastly, i learned there's a daily Murdle online, so I'm definitely adding that to my list of daily cozy puzzles.

Animal Crossing came to an aquarium in the Phoenix area, so of course I visited this weekend when Tom Nook and Isabelle made an appearance! The aquarium was decked out for both Animal Crossing and Halloween, so that was a nice treat! I was most amused by Gulliver included in the exhibit doing what he does best -- sleeping it off after a rough night. 😂 Lastly, seeing the entire Animal Crossing Lego collection together was just too cute. #animalcrossing #tomnook
