Rota - Roman Tic-Tac-Toe Variant

<p>Print Notes: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; In your slicer, copy/paste 3 “Rota Piece v2” files. Print that twice, in a different color each time. You will need 3 pieces of one color, and 3 pieces in another. The Rota board barely fits on my Prusa Mini. I printed at 25% infill, but you could change it to your heart's content - the board isn't too finnicky. The “Octo Ring” file press fits into the Board. I set .15mm tolerances, but some pieces are a tad tighter. For the struggle-bus pieces, I just pushed the piece in as far as I could, and then flipped the board over onto a flat surface and put my weight on it to press fit it. I got all of my pieces flush, but it took some effort.</p><p>How to Play Rota: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It is similar to tic tac toe in that the goal is to get 3 of your pieces in a row. At the start of the game, both players take turns placing pieces on to one of the nine circles on the board (circles in octo ring file that are press fit onto the board). Once all of each player's pieces are down, they then start moving one piece one space on the board, still with the intention of getting 3 in a row. The lines and arcs in the octo ring file highlight where you can move on your turn. Your 3 in a row must be consecutive pieces (obvious). You can get a straight 3 in a row that goes through the center circle, or you can get a curved 3 in a row with all your pieces in a (curved) line on the outer circles.</p><p>I hope that makes sense… it's a lot of fun to play, and it kind of twists your mind at first while you're getting used to it. Really cool game, really fun to model.</p>
