Track Game / Orbito / Tikatarer / Logic Game / Pentago

This is a tabletop “track logic” toy game. Players place pieces on the board and then press down the button which makes the pieces scroll around a 4x4 grid . It is an interactive logic/track puzzle where arranging and activating the pieces correctly makes the board shift for a desired outcome. 

The winner is who first has four stones of their own color in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row.

It is sold on Amazon under different names:

• Track Game 
• Orbito 
• Tikatarer 

As a twist I modified it slightly to make the inner circle go in the opposite direction.

Assembling the model

There are four plates that can all be printed in a single color on an A1 mini without AMS.

Here are views of the game at different stages of assembly:

The levers and the middle pin need to be fitted such that they move freely, some sanding may be required.
