 Make your moments make a space game Today we're gonna make a game that aliens or astronauts might play in space These are some of the things you might need. You see there's a ruler some scrap cardboard a pair of scissors tape some chalk Pencil mark or something like that something to write with here's what I'm gonna make a game called floaty town Which sort of replicates you floating around the universe? The object of the game is up to you to decide if you want to make this mine is gonna be Landing on all of the planets and or things in this universe that we're gonna make so step one Name it of course Floaty town maybe add a little decoration there. It's gonna look really nice I haven't have black paper, but you could use cardboard white paper small sheet of paper anything you like Now to lay out our universe I want to pick an origin point Where everyone start from and then lay out the area of four different quadrants and then I'm gonna mark off Very specific increments so that when we roll our dice, which we'll make later It'll be very easy to figure out where you need to go There's put the mark there and you can do these marks of course at any scale that you like I'm gonna add these numbers to them So when you go right and up the numbers are positive and you go left and down the numbers are negative All right. Now. Let's get to Drawing our planets adding and Suns and Moons and nebulas that kind of stuff so I'm up here I'm using chalk like I said, but you are welcome to use crayons colored paper Markers plane paper anything you have at home Another nice little fun planet down here a little blue and green planet down here might look familiar to you all Once put some stuff down this side. Oh, there's a fun pink planet. It's gonna ring on it Maybe some like cool Nebula situation something in here. So this area when you're designing your game You could say maybe if you land in this then then you lose like your ship is lost That's something you would do like I said the rules are up to you My rules are to land on every item that is in this universe Your rules may be different Couple more here Good one down here as well. So we get two things in each quadrant. All right, I think I'll cover it up numbered everything else looking good Now we need to make some dice so that we know exactly where we're going as we play floaty-town and As you might know a single die has six sides and this pattern which I'm gonna make a sort of a cross pattern There's a very common way to make your own die out of paper or cardboard or whatever So you want to end up with six squares and you'll see here in a second when I cut this out Why I arranged the squares in this way. Let's get numbered positive numbers negative numbers and Cut it out snip snip snip snip Fold fold fold fold fold fold and you see Did that shape specifically because it folds up very easily into a cube with just a couple folds And make one more And you know with that now you need to make some game pieces. So these are some scrap cardboard pieces I had There is a moon kind of like a sad moon give them a little bit of a gray moon hue How about a cool rocket ship? Yeah rocket ships in space. It's like a squid. Oh, here's a UFO with a little alien inside you go and Oh a comet comet is a good thing to be in space comments are cold. That's why we're gonna use blue chalk So cut out your game pieces There you go, if you want a little extra decoration feel free to and now we're ready to play floaty town All right, so we start all the pieces here in the center and you roll the dice and You follow the instructions on them So as you can see that is negative one and negative three so you go down one left three And you just keep doing this like I said the point of my game was to land on every planet and or thing on the board But you could make up your own rules as you go. Maybe each one is a specific number of points Maybe you want to make it to a specific one. I don't know it's up to you And here at the end. I also decided to add some dots as a grid to help you figure out where exactly you need to move To added bonus they look like stars
