Travel Ludo / Chess / Checkers

Made a chess / checkers / ludo travel board game.

The Fibonacci spiral themed Ludo (or Parchisi or Uckers or Sorry! or Fia or Mens Erger Je Niet or one of the two dozen other names it's known as around the world) is 8 separate embroidered pieces sewn to a piece of pack cloth.

The chess/checkers side is 1½" ribbon sewn to a piece of pack cloth.

Two sides sewn together with a zipper at one end to store the game pieces inside.

I opted for the game pieces to be flat discs to keep it all as portable as possible. All the pieces are 2 embroidered pieces sewn together. Chess on one side (and the two sides have different designs), and blank for the checkers side.

The dice I created an .stl file for and 3D printed.

It's imperfect, not 100% straight, some of the lines are a little wobbly, but I'm still happy with it.

And it could double as a cushion cover in a pinch. ;-Þ
