Mark J Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I don't get the game, but the box is nicely done. I especially like the inside bevel. What did you do for the black fuzzy interior? Flock? Fabric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabric? thanks Mark, it's faux black leather glued in, a small rabbit is cut in the bottom of the frames to allow for the fabric to be tucked under it instead of cutting it to exact size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 That is very well done Dave. Looks like a fun game as well. I’m notorious as being a copy cat, on the build, certainly not the quality. I’m going to put this on my list. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Basher Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Are the numbers stencilled on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted December 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 The numbers are rub on transfer from a company called chartpak, I don’t think they are in business any longer, I’ve had these for 20 years, transfer by rubbing a dull pencil over the number. I then spray on several coats of lacquer to protect the numbers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a brass rod on the back below the numbers that keep the numbers level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers are on a brass rod Coop, roll a 9 flip whatever makes 9, 6&3, 7&2 or whatever the player wants that makes that number, continue until the number you roll can’t be made, add up the remaining numbers that is your score, low score wins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Almost like the peg games on Cracker Barrel tables with dice? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
