If you're a board game enthusiast, you're in luck: with Open Board Game you can 3D-print your own board game or print the creations of other enthusiasts.
Thinker Thing is a company dedicated to board games for twenty-five years and specialized in 3D printing for the last three years. Passionate about games, this company wants to revolutionize the way board games are produced through 3D printing technology. That's why they are working on Open Board Game, a creation platform that allows you to design your own professional board game or print the incredible creations of other users. Below is the video that Thinker Thing released for its Open Board Game crowdfunding campaign:

Thanks to this, the hexagonal pieces that make up the map can form an infinite variety of landscapes. These pieces are designed so they can be 3D printed quickly and without problems from home. In this way, the hobbyist community can share their creations with the world, bringing like-minded people together in the collaborative development of innovative game ideas.
To promote Open Board Game, Thinker Thing decided to use Rust to Dust, a robot war strategy game that uses fifty-six figures. If you're interested, you can download the models of the basic set pieces for free, whether to print, modify, use, or share with the rest of the community. For now, the developers have started a crowdfunding campaign through the site Indiegogo. Open Board Game needs $28,000 to be funded, and those who contribute will be rewarded with various detailed models to build their own board. Let's hope they can achieve it so we can enjoy our own board games as well as those developed by the rest of the community.
