Adventure's Edge: Game Summary

Dive into "Adventure's Edge," where strategy meets chance on a journey through the elemental realms. Up to four players embark on a quest to navigate their pieces through challenges and fortunes, guided by the whims of the Wheel of Prosperity and Fate's Challenge. Gather your family or friends for a fast-paced adventure that promises thrills, laughter, and a test of wits at every turn.

I designed this game to be a fun new take on the game trouble or frustration that can be 100% 3D printed. You'll have a great time putting together this set with satisfying snaps, colorful game pieces, and of course lots of fun playing the game. Whether it's friends over for game night, or you're playing with your family, I hope that you enjoy the build and the game.

Setup and Gameplay

Objective: Be the first to navigate all 4 of your pieces from the base camp, around the board, and across the finish line.

• Players: Up to 4, representing the elements Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire.
• Starting the Game: Each player starts with 4 pieces in their base camp next to their element icon. The oldest player chooses the specific number(s) required to leave base camp for the first game. In subsequent games, the player to the left of the previously oldest player chooses. See the note below on leaving base camp.
• Movement: No extra spin is granted upon reaching the starting space. Pieces cannot land on spaces occupied by the player's own pieces. Landing on an opponent's piece sends that piece back to their base camp. You cannot land on your own piece.
• Landing on the Wheel of Prosperity Space (4th on each side): Grants a positive action by spinning the Wheel of Prosperity.
• Landing on Fate’s Challenge Space (7th on each side): Requires a spin on the Fate’s Challenge Wheel for a negative outcome.

Leaving Base Camp

• Selection Process: At the beginning of the first game, the oldest player announces their chosen number(s) from 1 through 6. These numbers become the "key" to leave the base camp for every player. For example, if the chosen numbers are 2 and 4, then a player must spin a 2 or 4 to move a piece out of the base camp onto the starting space.
• Variability: The oldest player can choose one number for a simpler game or multiple numbers to increase the chances of leaving the base camp but add complexity to the strategic decisions.
• Rotation of Choice: In subsequent games, the privilege to choose the exit number(s) rotates to the player to the left of the individual who made the selection in the previous game. This ensures that all players have the opportunity to influence the game's difficulty and strategy.
• Announcement: Before starting the game, the selected number(s) should be clearly announced to all players to avoid confusion. It's also a good idea to have these numbers visible to all players throughout the game, perhaps by writing them down or using a marker on a shared game component.

Example Introduction to Rule

"At the start of 'Adventure's Edge,' our journey begins with a strategic decision by the oldest among us, setting the stage for our elemental quest. This wise player will choose the magical numbers, be it a single digit or multiple, from the ancient range of 1 through 6. These numbers hold the power to release our adventurers from their base camp, embarking them on a path filled with prosperity and challenges. With each new game, this sacred duty will pass to the left, allowing new strategies to unfold."

Support & Feedback

Printing & Assembly

Printing this can take a while if you choose to print it in the same colors from the main print profile, but it's so worth it! The print profit will be read to go, but there are a few things to note. snapping in the legs and the side spinning holders should require just a little bit of pressure and you'll hear a satisfying click when they are in.

Don't forget to put the challenge and prosperity wheel on the correct side. The green wheel goes on the side with the stars, and the red wheel goes on the side with the skull.

To retain the spinner and the side spinning wheels, there are little c-clips that simple slide over the end of the shafts. Please message me if you run into any issues.
