i bought a new french boardgame called "En garde !" (an old Knizia game called "Duell" if i have a good memory)

the game has a board with 23 squares, playing cards and 2 lead figures.

But i prefer my 28mm figures  :roll:   so, i built my own 3D boardgame (aztec/swashbucklers figures) for Toutatis convention.

Beautiful work! From the vines draping down the wall, to the mix of stone, plants, and water, to the little scenery items, you did a phenomenal job. I hope that you're able to play some games and show us some more pictures soon!

That looks great! Wonderfully conceived. Looks great as a diorama as well, I'll wager.

Absolutely beautiful!  You should submit photos to the company who makes the game.

That looks really, really cool. I saw it in the Toutatis photo reports earlier, and wanted to know more about it. Now I do :)

I've heard of this game before. I believe I've seen at least one other person create his own miniature gameboard for it (though it wasn't a New World setting).
