So after playing the play-test a few times and very much liking the game I decided to make a board. I wanted to do a 30" diameter board but cutting a circle wasn't going to happen and I already had some 24" square pieces of 25mm thick blue foam board, so here is what I came up with:
This is 2 25mm blue foam stuck together using some scenic pva, It dries really strong. I cut 2 holes to be used as pits from the top one.
Then I got some Tamyia Light Sand effect texture paint, 3 pots of it which was quite expensive at £10 a pot but it made for quite a nice sand arena effect.
Then I made some boards out of balsa wood to go over the pits so you could cover or uncover them when you like.
I've just ordered 3 Doric columns which should come next week. I will probably try to make a spikey colum out of one of them by attaching velcro at the top and bottom of the column and making a strip or 2 of spikes to wrap around the column, so you can use them as standard columns or arena hazards.
