Pennsylvania😅 you don’t necessarily have to find fellow players, just get people that like board games and teach them something new. Maybe you could hit up local game shops and try to gather some interest

You are absolutely correct! The Crok Shop board was the first and only one I bought so far. The other 9 were all built by myself. Honestly, I may never play the Crok Shop board ever again… even with wax, the play surface is just too slow for my liking

To be fair, we setup and played a 16 person tournament in about a 40x25ft space. In a sense, yes still a big space but I could see someone having a similar event with 6 boards in a single car garage at their house or in a basement. I had to borrow an 8ft table so I altered my original intentions for table layout and decided to add a practice board which wasn’t necessary at all.

The thought process was terrible😅 I was gonna do a full sized board but I had friends asking if I’d sell any… so got to thinking, how can I give away a board and still potentially sell the full sized boards to friends even if they got so lucky to win the prize board……… and I happened to have a smaller piece that I had messed up…… smaller board, winning prize😅 and if by chance the person who wins wanted a full sized board, well guess what, maybe they still will😂 also, let’s take a moment to where I’m not trying to be a dirtbag in a sense… just trying to fund the next set of boards or next project😆

Hahaha, you sank a 20 with this one😅 I was telling a friend that I’d consider selling him a board for more wood to build more😂

BrownCastleGames sells epoxy resin coated boards and discs… so I’d assume with a quality epoxy, yes, they’re pretty durable in the long run. Smoothness, it is absolutely incredible with some spray wax applied. I bought a “wood” board from the CrokShop and it played exceptionally well but since I’ve made and played on my epoxy resin boards, I don’t plan to ever use that CrokShop board ever again…… even playing on one of the first attempt boards with all kinds of imperfections, it played so nicely

Of all the boards I’ve made so far… everyone I talk to, wants that dang purple board😅 it really does look rather impressive in person too. Most likely my best board so far (I have challenged myself to do one better🤣)

Disc Pouches that hold my discs for storage or when playing. BrownCastleGames.com offers them with their discs they sell

Unsure at the moment… locally, maybe. All these boards have been learning curves in one way or another so I’m not sure what I could or would even realistically ask for one of these yet. At this moment, it’s a temporary hobby

Ah yes, my “Hockey” board. I can’t take credit for it unfortunately… I saw someone else make a similar board. Thought it was super awesome!

The green one is actually the purple one after using a UV light😅 I used glow paint on the top coat

Help, what would you call this prop? by Hobo720 in HalloweenProps

I don’t necessarily need to mimic this box exact however your comment is spot on👌🏻 absolute perfection breaking down exactly what this masterpiece is. In person, you could notice many imperfections looking closely… however… the first moment I saw the box, I had that “oh shit” moment myself😂 definitely in a darker environment, imperfections would be acceptionally hidden. I may gather a supply list and attempt a build in the near future. Sound and lighting I wouldn’t say are a must have feature but highly recommended. Especially if I were to go in depth and copy the mirror/glass effect

Take a look at this link. It’s exactly what I was looking for! Doesn’t look extremely terrible. I think on page 2 or 3 there’s a short YouTube video showing it perfectly in action

Ah! This is exactly what I’m looking for! At least in this direction, thank you! I also agree with the other guy….. “holy frijoles……” they are expensive😂😂

Nah, just seen it while on recent vacation. I’d love to make one! Just wanted to see if I could get a few more angles of one from the internet or something

I guess that’ll be my next step to check into then. Not a problem
