I've always wondered why can't I find any free small fully 3D printed board games that I can take with me to play while I wait at a cafe or at a beach. So, I've decided to make one!
Presenting: ZIMA
A fast-paced social resource management mini boardgame
A quick 1-4 player social board game that you can take with you in a coat pocket or a backpack to play with friends while waiting for your order. Or when chilling at the beach. Or when bored at a party. A full game lasts about 5-7 minutes and is very replayable (especially fun if you keep track of points as you play).
The point of the game is to gather resources, allocating them between your own "Stash" and a common "Pot", so that when the winter comes you don't run out. But be careful when "stashing" everything for yourself, if the Pot empties - everyone loses. Watch not only for other players' greed, but your own as well. Getting low rolls? Don't worry - throw everything into the Pot, "sacrificing" yourself for the good of others, and if you're the only one who runs out of resources - be the sole winner in the game as an "Altruist"!
Full set of rules is printed in a small double-sided booklet that stores inside the box.
A full board game you say?
- Everything is stored inside this one box, there's nothing else needed. It's the entire game with the manual, dice & counters.
- Easily printed with PLA or any other material you wish (I recommend PETG for extra material strength & longetivity).
- Lid locks onto the box and shouldn't open by itself.
- Small & cheap printers should work great - parts are designed with tolerances (see printing section below for more info).
- Either use markers to highlight numbers after print, or use multicolor printing (again, see printing info below).
- It's free! Oh, and not much material is needed to print it - around 250 grams & about 12 or so hours for the whole thing (except the paper manual) on a decently fast printer.
How do I print this thing?
However you want. Here's how I printed it:
- I've used PETG for extra strength and because it allows for some bending (lid latches), and PLA is generally more brittle when bending.
- I've printed everything with my printer calibrated to have a 0.1mm hole compensation (so all inner perimeters are wider by 0.1mm).
- First, I've printed the box & the lid. I don't have a multi-color printer, so I've added pauses in Orca so that I can switch to a different color filament mid-print. That way numbers & the lid art are crisp and I don't have to color them with a sharpie.
- Next I've printed Stash Counter inserts, see my screenshots for orientation - no supports are needed. Here's where a multicolor printer would shine, but I had to print all in a single color and use a sharpie later for numbers.
- 2 dice - same as above, no supports needed. Extra infill for a bit more weight.
- Counter pins - I've decided to use black TPU here for the color contrast & because they are a bit softer to the touch than plastic. Not mandatory, but try to use contrasting colors (from the box's color).
- Printed Stash Counters with the same material as the box, standing up, no supports.
- Printed the manual (see the PDF file) double-sided (turn over the short edge) on a double-sided photo paper. Cut, bent, and it's done (see photos of what it's supposed to look like).
General FAQ
- "Pot"? "Stash"? What's what? -> See the photo attached to this make, where everything is labeled.
- Counters won't fix in the box! -> They do, place two counters in the box with a thumb pin sticking up. Now place the other two stash counters on top with their pins facing down, on the other side. The pins of the upper counters will neatly fit into the bottom counters' cutouts. Just gotta rotate them a bit, and you'll see they fit great =)
- Counters are hard to move! -> You may wish to use a 0.1 perimeter compensation in your slicer. When calibrated, counters move easily with one finger. If you're lazy, just grab the insert and move it back & forth a bunch until the plastic gets polished a bit inside, and they should move easily.
- Player cards' symbols are visible to everyone during the Summer phase! -> Use opaque filament.. or print with single color and then just use a similar color sharpie for the symbols. Or don't, symbols should be visible regardless.
- Game's lid opens by itself when I smack my backpack against the wall! -> Yep. Use a rubber band or something to secure it even better, I guess.
- We keep losing the dice! -> Print extra, they take very little filament. Or use any standard d3 dice. Or use an app on your phone to roll 2d3.
- Why are player counters so large? -> The idea is that everyone can see the level of your "greed" and adjust their strategy accordingly.
- Can I sell this game or a variation/remix of it? -> No. It's free, my dude.
- Can I reupload this game somewhere else? -> You must link to this page for the original. Same if you're making a variant/remix.
- What does "ZIMA" mean? -> "Winter" in Russian. Stress is on the "A", if you're curious.
Game Rules FAQ
- When do the players get their cards? -> At the very start of the game. Look at your card, but don't show it to anyone until the Summer phase ends.
- When can I see my role card? -> As soon as you get it.
- We are unclear on the order the players take turns -> Here's an example with 4 players: 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1. With 2 players: 1, 2, 2, 1.
- Game's too hard! We keep losing! -> Start with 3 resources in the Pot instead of 2.
- Game's too easy! We keep winning! -> Start with 1 resource in the Pot instead of 2. Or, if you want an only 50% chance to win (on average), start with 0.
- When do we show our role card to others? -> Only after the Summer phase, before Winter. So in Autumn, some might call it.
- As a thief/policeman, do I have to take all points from the same player? -> No, you can split between 2 different players. One from each, for example.
- As a thief/policeman, do I have to take resources? -> No, it's 0, 1 or 2 resources.
- Can I win as an Altruist if another player has also "starved"? -> No, Altruist is a sole self-sacrifice, and if more than player has lost the Stash, there can be no Altruist in this game. You have to be the only one who lost the Stash, and Pot must have resources remaining. Try for Altruist if you get really low rolls in the Summer phase.
- Can't I use Pot's resources for myself? -> No.
- Does the game end when the Pot reaches 0, or goes into the negative? -> If the Pot has less than 1 resource in it, game is immediately over, and everyone lost.
Available in English and Russian versions (only lid & manual are affected).
Again, please do not reupload this anywhere else that I haven't uploaded it.
I want the original to stay here so I can update it when needed.
Happy playing!
