Mating Qwirkle Pieces
Description
Qwirkle is a great game, but the wooden game pieces in the commercial product are difficult to use because they set vary tremendously in size and finish. The pieces are also very slick, which causes them to move unpredictably when you accidentally brush your hand against them. Many of the people that I play with have fine motor control issues and become frustrated when placing pieces, so I was inspired to create a board with pieces that mate together and eliminate the risk of jostling the board. When playing, just be sure to orient all the pieces in the same direction. I like to place the pieces so that the nubs are positioned on the top and right sides. For a full game set, you will need to print multiple copies of the pieces. Using black filament, print the following. 18x Piece - Circle 18x Piece - Clover 18x Piece - Cross 18x Piece - Diamond 18x Piece - Square 18x Piece - Star Then, print the following with six different colors of filament. I used red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, to emulate the original game. 3x Insert - Circle 3x Insert - Clover 3x Insert - Cross 3x Insert - Diamond 3x Insert - Square 3x Insert - Star The inserts are designed with a 0.5mm tolerance so that they fit properly inside the game pieces. If the tolerance produces too tight of a fit on your printer, just scale them to smaller dimensions in your slicer. Alternatively, you can paint the recessed holes in the pieces to achieve the same result. I get it, filament is expensive. Happy printing!
