#[The Game](https://www.underdoggames.com/products/trekking-the-national-parks) I bought this game for my dad for 2020 Christmas as a fun family game and man is this super fun! It's a great game inspired by a husband and wife that have traveled to all of the National Parks of the United States. "Trekking" can be played with 2-5 people and it's a lot of strategic moving around to claim parks / claim stones / occupy a major park. It's very much a mind game and you have to move smart if you want to win! #The Problem I have an older brother who is married, a girlfriend, and two parents + myself = 6 people. The game supports 5 people. See the problem? The game comes with 5 player pieces and a sixth piece (a brown bear) for the player who moves first. #The Solution Imho, the bear piece is a wasted piece and offers zero value to the game. I decided instead of wasting this piece, why not create an extra set of tents for the bear piece for a sixth player to join the game? That's exactly what I did. Using a caliper, I measured one of the tent pieces and mocked up a sketch on Solidworks. After about an hour and a half, I had a great looking sketch. I printed the piece with generic PLA using the 0.15 PrusaSlicer settings provided. Now my family can play this awesome game with 6 people! I hope others can reap the benefits from my work. Happy trekking!
