A 3D printed strategy board game for up to four players.
Game tokens for this model are compatible with Four-in-a-Row.
How to Play
- Players take turns adding two tokens with their assigned color(s) into the board to create chains of their color.
- 2 players: Each player has two colors.
- 3 or 4 players: Each player has a single color.
- Players continue to place tokens until the playing field is filled or (in the case of a 3-player game) all tokens are used.
- Final scores are determined by the longest chain for each player.
- For games with 2 players, add the length of the longest chain for both of the players' colors.
- If there is a tie, the player that went later in the play order wins.
Optional House Rules
- During a 2-player game, the players must play both of their colors every turn. This reduces strategic options for a simpler game.
- Assign bonus points to less experienced players before the game begins.

Printing
- All parts can be printed without supports.
- Parts must print flat to work well. Add a brim if curling or bed adhesion is an issue.
- Print four uniquely colored sets of 14 tokens (56 tokens total). Token colors should be easy to distinguish.
- Two perimeter walls is sufficient for the game board, but increase this if you want a stronger print.
Assembly
- Screw together all tokens. Threads should be loose enough to tighten by hand, but results will depend on filament used, print settings, and printer.
- If the threads are too tight, try adding water to the thread to lubricate it.
- If the threads are too loose, glue the token halves together.
- Connect the feet. Add glue if you wish for these to be permanently attached.
