I really love the board game "Blackdog". Unfortunately, the game is limited to four players and it is so more fun with six.
So I created a neat six player addon using my Snapmaker laser cutter.
If you want to recreate it, please watch my video on youTube: https://youtu.be/U4oRDHJKkVw
If you own a Snapmaker laser cutter, you can start directly with the Luban files in the "cam" directory. If you own another laser cutter or prefer LightBurn over Luban, then you can use the SVN files in the "cad" directory.
Please note that you still need the original four player game. I deliberately do not provide templates for the cards or the manual, since I do not want to damage the original manufacturer. This is a source for an addon, which is currently (2022) not available for sale. BTW: If you follow the video, then you will come with a compound variant for four and six players in one box. :-)
Nevertheless, I think my version is also an improvement in appearance and handling. For example, I use small magnets, so that the turntable will snap into one of the six correct positions. Also, the pieces will not have to slide/scratch over the baseplate, since I added an extra sliding foil to the turntable.
