About the Game

Burke's Gambit is a social deduction game based on the Alien movie. It is meant for 4 to 8 players, the more, the better. It was released in 2016 and went out of print. There have been news about a second edition, but the designer Robert Yates unfortunately passed away in late 2018 and there have been no news since.

I first played the game with a group of friends and because it was so much fun, I planned on getting it as well. Because it is no longer manufactured, it is hard to get one and if, then only for a high price. Since I wanted the game to wear it down and not as a collector item, I gave myself the task of reproducing it for myself. 

I extracted detailed pictures from a digital recreation for the tabletop simulator to design the dices. I got asked if I could share the files, and so I'll post it here.

About the Files
There are seven different dice in the game, of which there has to be three each, so we get a total of 21 dice. I also added a health coin, of which there has to be at least 17. It's also possible to use something else instead of the coins to keep track of the health. An additional bag is needed, to draw the dices from. The dice roles have been random so far.

I used nail polish for the coloring and tried to remove excess paint with polish remover. That's why there are visible discoloring of the PLA. Can't recommend and would probably use something else next time. 
 

I also included the combined cards in color, inverted for grayscale and the files from the tabletop simulator.
