PlayBook'd Crosswords Language Pack - Tiles for 38 Languages

Want to play PlayBook'd Crosswords in Polish, Greek, Hebrew or Welsh? This add-on gives you the letter tiles for 38 languages - each with that language's own letter set and point values - together with colour bonus squares and a one-page rules sheet in the same language.

Before you print

You need the original PlayBook'd Crosswords model by ForgeCore for the board, covers, tile holders and spine:

This is an unofficial fan add-on, not affiliated with or endorsed by ForgeCore. English tiles come with the original and are not part of this pack.

Files

One ZIP per language.

Download the ZIP with your language code: PlayBookd_Crosswords_ES_v1.zip for Spanish, ..._FR_... for French, ..._UK_... for Ukrainian, and so on.

Inside: the rules PDF, the letter overview, a README, the licence, and two ready 3MF projects - one for Bambu Studio and one for Creality Print.

Each 3MF holds 5 plates: the letter tiles and 4 plates of bonus squares.

1. Letter tiles, blanks included

2. 32 double letter squares (blue)

3. 16 triple letter squares (green)

4. 10 double word squares (orange) + 4 half squares that form the 2 squares on the board fold

5. 8 triple word squares (red)

The bonus squares show symbols rather than words, so the same squares work for every language.

Languages

Afrikaans, Arabic (العربية), Bulgarian (Български), Catalan (Català), Croatian (Hrvatski), Czech (Čeština), Danish (Dansk), Dutch (Nederlands), Estonian (Eesti), Faroese (Føroyskt), Finnish (Suomi), French (Français), German (Deutsch), Greek (Ελληνικά), Hebrew (עברית), Hungarian (Magyar), Icelandic (Íslenska), Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), Irish (Gaeilge), Italian (Italiano), Latin (Latina), Latvian (Latviešu), Lithuanian (Lietuvių), Malagasy, Malay (Bahasa Melayu), Norwegian (Norsk), Polish (Polski), Portuguese (Português), Romanian (Română), Russian (Русский), Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig), Slovak (Slovenčina), Slovenian (Slovenščina), Spanish (Español), Swedish (Svenska), Turkish (Türkçe), Ukrainian (Українська), Welsh (Cymraeg)

Printing

The 3MF files open directly in Bambu Studio; other slicers should load the parts, but you may need to set your printer profile and colours yourself. 6 colours in total, 2 per plate: white, black, green, orange, blue and red.

Settings that matter for these tiles:

• first layer 0.2 mm (same as the other layers, 0.4 mm nozzle) - the inlay depth is two layers;

• face down on the plate - whatever surface you print on becomes the face;

• per-object Arachne settings on the tiles stay on, for thin letter strokes;

• elephant foot compensation low (~0.075 mm);

• keep the purge volumes and the prime tower from the project;

• 2 walls, 15% gyroid infill, no supports; one PLA type for all colours.

Tile size 15 x 15 x 4 mm, the same as the original tiles - they fit the board sockets and the tile holders.

A multi-material printer is needed: the letters and bonus legends are inlays in the same first layers as the body, so a simple filament swap does not work.

Rules

One PDF per language, A4 and US Letter, readable as a single sheet, folded, or cut into 4 cards.

All rules and letter pictures are also in one folder:

The rule texts were prepared with AI assistance - native speakers, please point out any mistakes in the comments; corrected files get a new version number (v1.1, v1.2 ...).

Q&A

- Why is the book itself (covers, spine) not translated? Those are ForgeCore's files and design, and we don't edit or re-share them. The pack only adds parts made from scratch.

- Where do the tile counts come from? From the published tile sets of this kind of word game in each language (open sources): 100 to 120 tiles, 2 blanks (3 in Portuguese).

- Can I sell prints? No - non-commercial licence.
