Red Sand, Blue Sky (lots of pictures)

[zorg]

My first post - with something to show, I'm daring to post

This is a game of Red Sand, Blue Sky I put together as a birthday present for a friend. The minis are from Museum Miniatures. I kept the box design simple, and the arena smallish, so the game doesn't take up much space.

The arena actually has a grid in muted red on it, but it doesn't show well on the pictures.

The box with the rulebook.


In the box, we have the arena...


... and the gladiators.




Rulebook, opened.


A few gladiators, doing their thing. The pictures aren't that great, the camera seems to have trouble focusing on the 15mm guys.

Very cool! Nicely self-contained.

I like the cards as well.

The cards are available from boardgamegeek, I found them quite handy.

You've inspired us to get out the book and finish our gladiators.  The "to do" list is growing.

I actually did the whole thing two times - once as a gift, and once for me I'm pretty relieved that I don't have to do any more gladiators right now...

Lovely set. And it looks like someone has a bit of book binding skills, too.

Lots of inspiration here. Thanks for share it.

What a great project, I really like the concept of a whole game fitting in a small box, makes storage and carrying it around to a friend's house really easy, and it looks good, too 

[DoctorPete]

Very creative.  Well done.

Thank you all

The book binding skills need some improvement, in fact; but I'm planning to work on that.

[Cherno]

Maybe a simple spiral bind would be easiest and sturdiest

Definitely! Not as pretty, though.

Seriously, binding books isn't that difficult. If you can do paper models or build boxes out of cardboard, you can do books. It's just a matter of practice (and patience).
