Update regarding the knucklebones board take 2 updates and thoughts:
Been looking more at the original board for inspiration.
Meaning, I'll be going for a simpler style for separating the columns. And incorporating the logo? Icon? Banner as a bookmark.
As for the other side, I'm thinking of putting the conversions on that end since it's a lot more convenient than the instructions, or maybe I'll add both.
Soooo, I might have found a thing that makes me really want to redo another thing, plus being bible book size might help make it more convincing
Speaking purely from experience playing irl with people/ family, it's about 20% actual strategy and 80% pure dumb luck. Probably is what makes it so addictive to play
Ewen is the kind to start a game of knucklebones, acting like they're sooooo weak at the game. Then plays with incredible mathematic precision and poker King level manipulation... only to have the opponent sweep them with dumb luck so they kick over game board in frustration
The math sheet is actually a really cool touch. Definitely going to add it to my board
We got the dice so now it is done.
We are very happy. We made.
*When you're feeding your knucklebones addiction instead of reciting sermons and declaring the newest doctrines*
Here's my painted knucklebones board. The board itself was 3D printed from a free file I found on thingiverse, to which I noticed the texture of the sides were the same as a book's, one thing after another I turned it into the Lamb's bible aswell.
Another detail I really like is how the dice I use corresponds with the colours of the crowns.
Huh....
Okay, so plan B. I'm going to roll a red dice and a purple dice with my eyes closed, highest score wins, it completely fair, and I get to show off my knucklebones board
*dice noises*
Goat wins! 5:3
This was actually my spare board, I'm painting the other one to look like the Lamb's bible
Which plushie should I make first, The Lamb or the Goat?
Whilst I'm definitely going to make both of them. It'll be more of a one at a time deal.
Anyways...
The lamb goes into financial debt playing knucklebones
