Laser Cutting Game Pieces


Pretty much anything can work as a game piece.  Little toy cars, plastic dinosaurs, or wooden blocks have all made it onto our game boards.  But sometimes, you just have to make your own pieces.  So for Logystyka, we purchased a laser cutter.

Logystyka: A Turn-Based Tabletop Strategy Game

In Logystyka, the goal is simple: build your empire!  But no game is ever that simple!


We're currently working on versions 10 and 11 of the rules.  But why two versions?  Because my son and I don't agree on how complex the game should be.  So while I'm working on the "simple" version, my son's developing the enhanced version.  So for the "simple" version, imagine:
  • Feeding your hungry army from settlements as inspired by Cataan and Roman logistics.
  • Massing armies with combined-arms support as inspired by Risk Europe and modern military tactics.
  • Deploying spells and action cards as inspired by MTG and Pokemon and Clash Royale and...okay, not exactly our most original idea! 
And for the enhanced version...add in unit upgrades.  And every single battle is like a chess game.  Except the pawns carry pitchforks.

Read On to for more details!
