There are many designs on the internet for this game board, I chose to go with this one because it just looks so nice.

And here's the steps I made:

  1. Import the image to inkscape and use it as a reference for the actual design.
  2. for the green,red,yellow, and blue circles, I just designed one and copied it three times around the board.
  3. I repeated the same technique with the rest of the design's elements.
  4. Don't forget to engrave direction arrows.
  5. To finish the look of the game I cut couple of white circles and inserted them just like in the picture.
  • Attached with this step the original design I made.

Once you finish cutting all the parts you can start gluing them to the base.

  1. Put the double sided tape on the base till you completely cover it.
  2. Peel off the tape and insert the first layer that will hold the rest of the elements.
  3. You can also try different method or different type of glue.

And that's it. make sure to trim all the extra tape from the edges.
