I googled the game regulations to know what dimensions to cut the pieces. The lengths were all accurate, but I couldn't find a dowel with a large enough diameter, so I ended up using a 2" dowel instead (this seems to be a common problem).
Martha Stewart has a nice tutorial for making the game. The measurements we used were slightly different than hers, and instead of painting the numbers on the dowels, I used a wood burner.

Here's the complete set!
Before I could even wonder how I'd store or carry this game... my Mom pulled a zippered cloth bag from her collection and the game fits great in it.
Beware, this game is VERY addicting!
I just opened up Wikipedia so I could read about this game. I'm a gamer, and I've never heard of this before. Thanks for the exposure. Jodi @ www.meaningfulmama.com
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this game before! I would love to see a post on how to play it! Thanks for linking up this week!
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of this before! Now I really want to try it! I've got a family get-together coming up in a few weeks, maybe I could make it before then...
