Epic Jofo - a tactical memory game

**Note: this is early access. The game is printable and playable. It might see minor optimizations in the design. I am still looking for nice name. If you got a nice idea, you can put it in the comments **

Hello guys,

Epic Jofo (working name) is a tactical memory game for two players. The game idea came to me spontaneously in the shower. I have no idea whether something similar already exists. As I had only just started learning CAD, I quickly started TinkerCAD and realised the idea in a very simple way.

Game Idea

The players take turns placing their tiles on the board. These become hidden over time, so the players have to where they have placed their tiles. The aim is to score as many points as possible by placing connected lines of pieces or enclosing opposing tiles in squares.

Here are the rules:

Preparation

• Each player receives 50 tiles of a symbol.
• The game is played on the bottom plate.

Start

• Decide which player starts.
• The start player puts a tile anywhere on the board with the symbol facing up.
• The second player does the same, then the first again and so on.

Main Phase

• After both players have placed 3 tiles each, the starting player now turns any one tile (either his own, or the opponents) to the reverse side so that the symbol can no longer be recognised. Only then does he place his next tile, as usual, with the symbol visible.
• The players now take turns, with each player first turning over a tile and then positioning their own.
• This means, that at any time of the main phase, 6 symbols should be visible, while all the other symbols are hidden.

End

• The game ends when all tiles are played or a player has kicked the game off the table in anger. All remaining visible are flipped over. Attach the bottom, flip the whole board and start the scoring.

Score

• Players receive points for all pieces connected in a horizontal of vertical line of at least three pieces and amount of most opponent's tiles encircled in the biggest square.

Example:

Player O has scored 3 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 19 points from lines

Player O has two squares with the same size, but one has 14 opponent's tiles enircled, while the other square (dashed lines) only has 12.

Play O has 19 points from lines and 12 points from the square. The final results is 31 points.

Winner:

Player with highest score wins. If tied, play another round.

Thanks for checking this game. Please help me to further develop and balance the game via in the comments. Have fun.

Print the test first, to see if the tiles fit into the bottom plate. Adjust size of the tiles in your slicer if too loose or too tight.

Print 50 x and 50 o tiles.

Easy and simple print in every material. Fits a 220 mm bed.

If you print at 0.2 layer height, you can add a pause at layer 61 and change the filament to get a nicer look.

I included also a board and cover with inserts for 5mm magnets with 2 mm depth.
