Creating your own board game can be a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon. First, decide on the theme of your game and think about what steps the players will have to take in order to win or finish the game. Next, take a piece of poster board and draw out your playing field. You can use dice in order to move the pieces forward and just about anything for your game pieces. Small items such as coins, small action figures or pieces of candy would work well.
You can add interest to the game by making cards for special landing spots. Your cards could read â??Go back 4 spacesâ? or â??Switch places with another player.â? If you decided to use play money in your game, your cards could even add or take away money from the players.
A zipper type plastic bag is a great way to store your new board game. Make sure that you keep all of your game pieces together so that you can enjoy your new board game again and again.
