June BenchTalk: Board Games & Maker Creations

This month’s BenchTalk is all about board games and the things people make for them.

Have you designed and 3D printed custom inserts, miniatures, terrain, tokens, card holders, dice towers, organizers, or accessories?  Maybe you’ve laser-cut a game box, built a storage solution, or created something entirely unique. Bring it along and show everyone what you’ve made.
We’ll spend some time sharing projects, ideas, techniques, and inspiration, then settle in for some board gaming together.

Bring a game you’d like to play—whether it’s a favorite classic or something you’ve been eager to get to the table.
Whether you’re a board gamer, a maker, or both, come along for an evening of creativity, conversation, and games.

What to bring:

• A board game to play
• Any board-game-related projects you’ve made
• Your stories, ideas, and enthusiasm
• Show, tell, play, and be inspired!
