Simplex Studium

Here's a really simple to learn, yet great strategy game.    In the link, there's some info about the game and how to play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abalone_(board_game) If you'd like to play online, press this link: https://lazymuttgames.com/games/Abalone/ The design of the board had some interesting challenges and required some study to make sure the marbles would slide properly. If you'd like to print this board, the files are available in my Thingiverse page here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3461916 I've decided to give it a go, with a small version of the board, with Ø16mm marbles and it works really well. The board has 160mm circumscribed. For the near future, an outer skirt will be added to collect the marbles. It wasn't printed with the board due to the printing bed dimensions. The skirt will have 3 parts that will connect with one another and with the board itself. This is how it will look like:

This is a fun puzzle to solve.  Has several mazes stacked on top of each other. Once one level is completed, the ball falls to the next level. The tricky part is that this should be solved blindly... You shouldn't be able to see the ball, just ear it and feel it as it goes through the maze.  Maps can be used to help the player, however, the maximum difficulty level for this puzzle is to mentally map the maze (no aid) and solve it just by feel, focus and dextrous movements.
