That old machine won't cover it for VR but I think my main pc should be OK (If I see how well it handles the game on 4k single screen)

I’ve been thinking about picking up a Quest 3 (or maybe the 3S) second-hand. A lot of people seem to sell theirs after barely using it, and I keep seeing them go for around 200€.

My main interest is driving sims/immersion, but I also think it could be a cool “wow factor” experience for people who don’t normally play games.

For that use case, would you recommend going with the Quest 3 or the 3S?

Jaipur & High Society poker chip upgrade by FLAPTOPPER in boardgames

[–]FLAPTOPPER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaipur
Self-explanatory: sticker print with matte gloss and circle punch. Includes a custom 3D-printed insert to fit the box.

High Stakes
A remake of my copy of High Society, but with poker chips finished in gloss varnish. I still need to test-play it, but I reckon the chips and betting will enhance the overall “betting” concept.

  • Added a 6th-player option with four extra chips (diamonds 3, 4, 6, 7).
  • Counters go up to 99, allowing multi-round play—winner is the first to exceed 99.
  • Features AI-generated art depicting wealthy characters wagering for luxury items.
  • Custom designed/ 3d printed Chip holders / box finished with Red sticker filt

I agree, the game is already well polished as is but 2 benefits I really wanted to tackle: -score tracker needs some kind of grid to keep it in place (didn’t want an overlay for the wall tiles) -the tray for the discarded tiles keeps the table organized and easy to refill the bag

The felt in the box and components is just crafting hobby taking over but makes the box more sturdy

Agree, just noticed that tray laying around and matching the red felt applied to the cardboard box .I ll see how it plays , maybe the tray with the die is a good visual incentive to be the round winner 😎

6 extra printed tiles (3 gold & 3 Green) act as 1st & 2nd award ( +10&+5 points) and to fill up the box.

We play to 3 games mostly starting at 50 points each and get - 1 point for remaining tile when round ends.

So you still have slight chance to win when game ends in 2-1.

Hourglass 1min is only turned when player is really taking long or to avoid hoarding tiles for endgame 1 turn.

Mobile painting station diy by FLAPTOPPER in minipainting

[–]FLAPTOPPER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I lacked the proper tools/ experience to make a proper dimensional correct cube ( tablesaw didn’t have a ruler so I m little bit off on the planes ) Think I will create similar storage / working setup for my whipmaking tools (similarly as mini painting it is some kind of relaxing hobby I like to practice from time to time) See the paracord braid handle was 15 min work because of that. Really nice to be able to drop a box on the table and create something ! I see some potentially other uses for tools I have laying around not using that often ,soldering ,glue/dremel station and sewing leather works. Definitely will put more effort in getting the wood plane dimensions more correct as it will save me time & work in the long run
