It ain't got a name yet and were makin' the rulz up as we go. The idea spawned while driving home from the Tombstone event, saw first light at Harley's Toy show this morning. Goal is to pool cue your ship, a large checker, into a series of 9 numbered ports. Landing in the Kraken makes you start over. Crossing the equator line grants you a second shot on that turn. Conception to finished product...6 days. Sharp eyed players will notice there is NO port #5. Refer to the RULZ up in Ship's Articles and it clearly states, "There is no #5" Attachments:

New idea in the worx. Slightly altered Checker board. 4 quadrants, 5 checkers per side, can't jump an opponent across quadrant lines. Attachments:

I made a few 9-man-morris games to play at events: This one is canvas with skulls as board and Spanish Dubloons, both gold and silver as pieces. The 'board' pulls into a carry bag with the dubloons inside safe. The board next is a wood board with wood checker pieces as tokens. This is another portable one with a cloth board and pieces. Something to display and paly at events.

The black blades are disappearing against the black of the backboard. Should I alter the sword's colors to brown grips, gold hilts, silverish blades? It's starting to look like a 1750's pinball machine...needs a slot for doubloons LOL. Attachments:
