I'm making a small set of #BarGames. So far I have a small set of dominoes, a set of dice and a deck of cards. I want to keep this set small and uncomplicated. You can do a lot with dice and cards. Is there anything else I can add to make this set better? Thank you for any ideas you may have. #cocktails #games #bar
@LilPecan One of those multifunction peg boards that can do cribbage, scoring, etc.?
@ultranurd I've been debating whether to add a cribbage board but your idea sounds better. I haven't seen anything like that before. Now I'll have to research. Thanks!
@LilPecan A brief search implies I may be imaginging something my uncle (who taught me how to shuffle) had that doesn't actually exist.
@ultranurd Scratch that last toot.
I shall invent it.
@LilPecan It seems very much in your wheelhouse. Of course now I'm imagining a guinea pig using a drill press 😆
@ultranurd I spent all day at my drill press today making a display for my bourbon corks but it is scary, with tying my fur back and having to don my tiny safety goggles. Plus, I'm always in terror of my step stool tipping over.
@LilPecan @ultranurd why don't you make those corks into mini chess pieces?
@ZANitebug @ultranurd I think that would be a great idea in another scenario* but I believe I wasn't clear enough. These games should all fit into a small box, as a set. It's part of an idea I had for a product for my business. Simple stuff. Minimal pieces. No complicated boards. More to come....
*also these particular corks have pewter topped sculptures and are sought after collectors items. Altering them would decrease their value
@ultranurd I've thought about this a lot tonight. Obviously, "invent" is the wrong word. Your uncle invented it. "Bring into fruition" is a better term. Is your uncle still alive? If I make this, he deserves credit for the idea. My orbit is small but I'd like to give credit where credit is due.
@LilPecan No, he's been gone about 10 years. I think whatever version you come up with is all you!
@ultranurd You know, I can't find such a thing. Do you have a link you can show me?
