what are some good games that involve moving a pawn on a board?

a while ago I made these little paper standees of various creatures. I experimented a bunch with different materials and I think I've hit on a pretty good "sweet spot" using thick paper and a plastic stand. my motivation for these was of course to use as board game pawns, in a variety of accessible bright colors and accessible shapes. so now of course I want more excuses to use them!

one idea I've floated is making my own variant of something like the
Cosmic Wimpout Scoreboard Bandana. This counts to 1000 in increments of 5, which means it needs to fit 200 notches. I could probably design my own bandana like that? But again, curious what games you'd enjoy playing with it. Cosmic Wimpout is sort of a Farkle variant, maybe I could make my own one of those?

ok ill do it myself

edit: this is papermod, inspired by PocketMod, an old Silverlight app for generating printable notebooks. I used to use it all the time! Papermod has a monthly review, a weekly review, some graph paper, and a dedicated sudoku page, since thats how I always laid mine out.

edit 2: if you use this then please let me know! I crave feedback and validation.

like a blog but mini

what the fuck do you mean, diyplanner has been down since 2016 and you have to go to the wayback machine? what the CRAP, pocketmod requires a login now and its missing most of the good templates from the Silverlight version? the bullet journal blog buried all its good adhd organizer posts and tried to turn its "easy one page method" into a book that they want you to buy?!!!

i need to do something about this. soon. god damn fuck.

I did it!

I successfully 2d printed a document from my framework laptop running Linux! This is a momentous occasion!

Also I get to sign this doc tonight to formalize our monthly software developer group as a nonprofit. Which is pretty cool too.

I’ve never been president of anything before. I’m going to make people address me as “Mr. President”. I’ll do this with a necessarily haughty kind of arrogance.

a friend said they wanted this so i'm makin more of 'em! please please please tell me if you like my crafts, i love making things for friends but i always worry i'm just giving them clutter.

that goes for this chessboard too, by the way -- i want to reprint it at some point, suggestions welcome!

lil guys assembled

the penny tent thingy was a really fun concept and I might find another use for it in the future, but the flat standees are just easier to manipulate on a playing surface.

originally the inverted colors were going to have a black border extending to the edge of the piece, but that ended up being way too visually distracting. I think this is a good balance.

uses:
- one color per player = score tokens (cribbage) or pawns (ludo, sorry)
- light v dark = backgammon, checkers

feedback requested: which style of pawn looks best? pennies or clips?

these will eventually be in a mixed color set, I want two light and two dark pawns of each color.

currently experimenting with a colored-paper print because I already have it in my craft bin and it's easier than coloring by hand, but I haven't ruled out "borrow a colored printer" as an option yet.

update: okay, how about this version? I've trimmed the standees closer to the edge and rounded their corners.
