Connect Four and Checkers for Altoids Tin

thingiverse

Human beings can make do without a necessary piece, but you'll find it's much easier to create and play the games if you have an Altoids Tin. I designed everything with interaction in mind, so you can store all the components inside this tin. To play Connect 4, print out the game board and 21 pieces for each of two colors on demand. I recommend using a different color scheme for your board to make it stand out from your game pieces. For extra convenience, I've included an STL file that includes 21 crown pieces, so you can just print them in two different colors. Since I haven't tried painting the parts myself, feel free to experiment and let me know how it turns out. You'll also find individual pieces for both crowns and blanks available. To play Checkers, use the same crown pieces found in the default STL file for Connect Four. You can either draw a game board on paper or print out this chess board: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2823112. If you're feeling ambitious, you could even use these chess pieces as well: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2823401. For a visual demonstration, check out this video: https://youtu.be/wSXafCYZ4XQ
