Expanding Our Tile Into a Full Game Board

Locking In the Tiles

Now that it’s glued to foam, I’m rolling it to create cracks. Peeling it up, putting Mod Podge in the sides, then pressing down. Did this in both directions—this thing will be locked in when it dries.

Building the Collection

Got all the tiles in leftover scrap wood jigs so they don’t warp. Made one more where the edges match the other tiles but it’s starting the deterioration of the bricks.

Now I have:

• Single board for my crew
• Enough for a 2x2 skirmish board
• The board is demanding I make a world, make a game for it

Heat Gun Magic

Ripped the tiles out unevenly, went outside, and hit them with a heat gun. Now everything’s in the press because I’m afraid the heat will make them curl.

The Count

Six boards in the drill press, six on the table—that’s 12 plus the one already made. If the flat ones don’t work out, I’ve got enough for a 2x3 which is fun to start. And I have tons more cubes for backup.

Worst case: I’ll just make more cube ones.

Hey. Hi. Uh, so I said I wasn’t going to talk that much about the other boards, but one thing I’m doing is now that it’s glued to the foam, I’m like rolling it. Can you see what’s going on here? The cracks.

So, like I’m peeling it like this and then putting Modge Podge in the side. And I did that like this way and this way. So, now this boy is going to be locked in when that dries. I just finished getting glue into all of these and I have them into the leftover scrap wood jig just so they don’t uh warp. And I’m going to I’ll rotate them since I don’t have a piece to go in here.

I made one more. So this one you can see like the edges are all going to match up to the other tiles, but it’s starting the deterioration of the bricks. So now I’ll have single board for my crew that started this enough for like a 2x two skirmish board. Uh, which I think I’m probably gonna have to make a game for. Like the board is is demanding that I make a world, I make a game.

Gonna do that. Figure that out. But then I got this idea that I I ripped the tiles out and I didn’t do it evenly. And I went outside and did all the other ones. So I’m about to put a respirator on, but I got the heat gun and just watch what happens.

All right. And now I’ve got these things in the press because I am afraid that because of the heat they’ll curl and I’m hoping this will stop that. Okay, I got six boards in the drill press flattening out. Uh I’ve got six on the table here. So that’s 12.

And I have the one I already made. Um I’m hoping the ones in the drill press stay flat, but if not, um I’ve got enough for like this 2x3, which I I think is fun cuz it’s fun to start. And I’ve got a ton more cubes. So, worst case scenario, if the flat ones don’t work out, I’ll I’ll just make more cube ones.
