The Great Snail Race Board Game

Intro:

In this game you race yoru snail against the rest. This is a luck based game, where you roll might inch somone elses snail ahead. Hope your snail gets moved the most, and win the game!

Background:

This was one of my first complete projects in Fusion. I am still learning. I hope to make a case for the larger version of the game, and eventually a die. My hope is to eventually do 6 colors of snails, and do color matchign instead of number matching, for younger groups. For now, any 6 sided die will work. 

While the model is mine, and I made the model myself - I must admit this game exists. I found a very old game call Snail Pace Race at a thrift store - it used a paper board, and wooden meeples, and had the colored die instead of numbered. The shop wanted double digits for it - and I just did not feel it was worth it when I could print it for pennies!

Printing:

I have a couple models, one small board with small snales, and a large board with larger snails. The large board has an option cut model that allows it to be printed on smaller printers. The simple shape allows for easy painting should you want to change the color of the final spaces, or the border. 

This print is rather simple, the only difficulty being that it is long and flat - a warped/unlevel bed woudl sturggle. A brim may help most printers, but my Snapmaker U1 handled it fine without. 

If your printer is not wide enough for any of the board, most slivers support a dovetail cut function, which should help in sizing it. 

Game Instructions

Pick your snail and Place the it on the starting space (next to the numbers). Each player will do this, then take turns rolling the die. The number it lands on is the snail that gets moved one space. Whoevers snail lands on the finish line first wins.
