A remix of 3D Printing Professor's folding model of the Royal Game of Ur game board.
I needed a board game to present to preschoolers smart enough to need a smidge more complexity than the Game of the Goose, but with less players than Ludo. I also needed to be able to explain the simplified rules without having to introduce the concept of a rosette, and also why one of them is different despite looking identical to all the others.
So I replaced all the tiles with new, less complex ones using stock shapes from Tinkercad, going for a medieval-castle-y vibe. The rosettes are now stars. The special star has a circle around it.
I used Joka67's board game piece instead of the usual disc-shaped game pieces and the rounded version pepesquadrone's toothpick dice to be as friendly to tiny fingers as possible. Players count the dice that land in the color of their game piece.
Mine printed with a slightly loose clasp. I added a smidge of clear, matte nail polish to the nubs and the cavities, and that fixed it.
Took about 8 hours to print at .2mm on a Prusa Mini+. Use a brim if you're nervous about height or wobbling. Board is printed in 3DJake rPla White, the pieces are 3DJake Ecopla Neon Orange and Recyclingfabrik rPLA Frische Wiese.
In case you print this for a child at an age of questioning all the things:
