Advice for Remy, Day 134. Make your own boardgames . Ever since I was young I’ve made my own boardgames. I remember shooting downstairs hellishly early on a weekend morning when I was probably only 6 or 7 and setting up camp at the dining room table. I’d surround myself with cardboard (usually cereal boxes which hadn’t quite been finished), paper, glue, scissors, pencils, felt tips, sellotape and all manner of other crafting materials. Before long there’d be a game being created - usually based on something like Monopoly which I already knew, but with my own take on it. My finest achievement was a formula one racing game which I made and stuck to a metal tray, so all the car pieces could be magnets. I spent many a long hour playing that game, rolling dice and moving my little racing cars round the various lanes of that magnetic track to my heart’s content. As an outlet for creativity it’s second to none, as you not only have to create something, but it needs to be something entertaining. Well recently, having played a lot more board games during lockdown, I got a hankering to play a particular type of game, only to realise it doesn’t really exist. So that 7 year old reared his head again and got all eager to create it. I’ve spent a week or so now deciding on the mechanics, designing the pieces and working out all the permutations, and tonight we’re testing it out. So by the time you’re old enough to read this we’ll either be living the high life off the royalties, or it’ll never have been mentioned again after tonight. Either way, we’ll show you how to play it. Even better - we’ll work with you to make your own.
