Lords of Vegas board game insert

thingiverse

Lords of Vegas is one of my all time favorite games and so when I had some free time I designed this quick start insert to eliminate the number of baggies in the box. I designed everything about a year ago but hadn't uploaded any of the files because I upgraded some of my game componants and didn't think there were many others who had done so. I've broken out the description for each piece so you can print what you need. Everything was printed on my ender 3 with its 235x235 bed. <h3>Tile Tray: </h3> This is for the casino tiles, take it out of the box and you're ready to start the game. If you have the first expansion, "Up!" then print a second one to hold the riser tiles and it has enough room to do them in 4 stacks with the spare casino tiles in the 5th slot. This tray is 246x50mm, which fits on the ender-3 bed if its rotated 45 degrees so it sits diagonally. <h3>Chip Rack, Lid, & Insert:</h3> I bought a very inexpensive set of clay poker chips to replace the paper money the game comes with, but cheap clay poker chips are 1mm larger in diameter than standard poker chips so they crush against each other in a standard rack. Standard racks are also designed to hold 5 rows of 20 chips despite most poker chips being sold in groups of 25. I bought 50 1s, 50 5s, 25 10s, and 25 25s for my game which is a great number for larger 6 player games with minimal change needed. For this reason I made this chip rack slightly larger to accommodate the very common cheap poker chip diameter, and sized them for three rows of 25 each. The lid is has a lip to keep it from closing on the chips themselves and is inset with the diamond shape in the photo. Printed diamond side down it doesn't need supports and I included the insert as a separate piece so it can be printed in a different color and press fit in place. The fit is VERY snug so place the insert on a hard flat surface, then press the lid on to it and you won't need any glue. <h3>Player Tray:</h3> These are friction fit to barely hold the dice in place when turned upside down. The score markers are a bit more snug so they hold the lot markers in place. If you only have the base game, print 4, if you have "Up!" then you'll want 6. <h3>Dice Caddy:</h3> Not strictly necessary but this caddy slips over 6 of the player trays to keep them from sliding around. <h3>Card Caddy:</h3> This is the only piece that needs supports. This part is still a work in progress, and uses the most plastic. This was made to hold the Underworld expansion and up to 5 full sized casino dice. I glued a piece of felt into the underside to make it a dice rolling tray. All credit for the game belongs to the Publishers, Loan Shark Games.
