Custom TRON Light Cycles Board Game and Playset

[starbase101]

What thickness acrylic did you use? 1/8 or 1/4?

[starbase101]

This is very awesome. What size did you make the board, and how are the light trails attached during play? (Do they just set balanced on the board?)

[DarkAngel63725267]

Wow!

The game looks great, music is nice

Where did you get the music?

[MultiWeirdTV]

Are you sure you dont want to sell it or can you make more and sell those?

[ChrisHCollier]

Very nice.

[VladmyreHunt]

the dice version of the game makes more sense as it is random and collisions would happen more than a user being able to acknowledge the light lines and turn to avoid them, nice board mate!

[AwesomeSciFi]

I think I want to make one.

To decide on the trail segment size, you would have to roll the dice.

It would be sweet if you could jump. This would require a modification to the rules so that if you get a 6 you get a jumping segment.

Nicely done! If you're still looking for a set of rules (at least according to Gajitz you are), check out Light Bikes

What my board lacks in glowiness, it makes up for in sheer size. (When I first began work on my game last year I looked at the florescent acrylic you used, but lacked the $ and access to a laser cutter).

Still, very happy with my solution

This is incredible. Really looking forward to seeing it in person at ConCarolinas!

[SharlzG]

This is brilliant and I totally want one!!

I was also thinking (though may have already been suggested) you could use the dice to decide turns by saying if you roll a 2 and a 4, you could either move 6, or move 2 then turn, then move 4, or move 4 then turn, then move 2.

Maybe combine that with your other special die and you can't actually turn unless you roll a turn marker (but it's a bit rough if you run off the game grid cause you don't roll a turn marker)

[ShiryuGL]

Very impressive work, well done. =)

[mckillbot5000]

I'd buy/play one!!!

[VladmyreHunt]

@mckillbot5000 id say if he made these for general sale they would cost at least $500

[Japenet]

@VladmyreHunt You're in the ball park ... or should I say game grid. I don't know what Kingtemp's outlay was for this (it would certainly bring down costs if he had easy access to a laser for cutting/etcher), but I do know that we priced out several over the top "shiny" options when I was working on my Light Bikes set — including both florescent acrylic and electroluminescent wire for the grid — with totals coming in from $450 to $580 and more.

This is amazing, a very creative use of the miniatures.

[shredder266]

Damn cool creation. That's actuallt pretty darn awesome and impressive..

Honestly great idea, Gj!



[cageandaqua]

very very awesome!



[cageandaqua]

very very awesome!

[rainybayart]

This looks great!

Another possibility for the game mechanics might be along the lines of Wings of War. Each player secretly chooses a move—accelerate, decelerate, turn left or right—from a list of possible moves, and then everyone reveals their actions simultaneously. It makes it feel more like everyone is acting at the same time, because you wouldn't necessarily have time to react and think about what the other person is doing before you decide yourself.

[kingtemp]

@rainybayart That's a brilliant idea, rainybayart! It would add some drama to the game. I think I have a good way to keep track of the moves as well. I'll get some blank dice and put the options on the dice. That way they could also serve as an AI if you want to play the game solo and roll for the "computer".

[clownie126]

Very cool.

[LlamaJudge]

If I had a light cycle board and an Angry Birds cake, my life would be complete

[AllTimeIsRelative]

Awesome!

[carbaryl]

Nice job Brett! When can we try it out?

[Xx032]

wow... i want to marry a man like you! <3

[g1zm02k]

A brilliant twist on the Tron idea; take the hi-tech concept and turn it on it's head. Truly inspired! My hat is definately off to you my man!

[griffithd05]

Nicely done, man!

[dinnison]

My daughter Shannon: "I want to play that!"

[kingtemp]

Awesome dad! Rock and roll the house!

[dinnison]

Very cool and great effects!

[lymang]

sweet brett!

[eeatonva]

First view!! Alright Uncle Brett!!!
