I saw Teppi Tree but tbh I blew off all my money buying the printer and the filament and so that's not an option. So far I found cool uploads of connect 4, battleship, ultimate tic tac toe, and a couple games I haven't heard of. Feel free to let me know your thoughts below.
It's really fun to play. There are tiles with covers, so the opponent can't see what it does, tiles with effects like teleport, mechanical tiles with flippers that make the ball into different directions. All that makes the game a lot more strategic that it looked at first.
There are also quite a few tiles made by the community available on thangs already that are pretty fun.
I only have experienced with 2 players so far. No idea how it plays with more
Looks like it requires more than 3D printed parts. But it seems really interesting and it's not like it needs arduinos or anything so it could be a fun project.
Except for glue for the board and some 10mm steel balls (readily available from e.g. Amazon) you don't need anything.
There are (optional) fancy versions for the legs that require some M3 or M4 screws and some (also optional but fun) tiles that need short m3 screws and washers
I was thinking about that but I'm not that great at painting. Though, I might give it a try someday though, after I'm bored with all these other games.
Thanks for all the help guys, amazing suggestions in the comments here. I was really worried I was gonna get downvoted to shit. With my past Reddit experience in mind, I would've fully expected to be told to get myself some money and go buy myself games.
Back to the topic at hand: I have also done more research myself found a bunch of cool games on printables. Thank goodness for those amazing engineers. One day I will donate to everyone that I've used designs from.
The game itself is one of my and my wife's favorites. We take the pocket edition on every trip we take.
If the theme isn't ideal, since you're 3d printing it, you could just design your own (something like tinkercad would be easy enough for this). It's just hexes with an icon on top, so that icon could be anything you wanted!
