Step 1: Prepare Materials
- Choose a sturdy material for the board's base, such as MDF or plywood, based on your preference.
- Gather tools like a saw, drill, screws, glue, and a Sharpie for marking.
- Use a projector or grid to assist in planning the layout.
Step 2: Determine Dimensions
- Decide on the size of your board. Adjust dimensions as needed to fit your space and preferences.
- Ensure the game layout fits your chosen dimensions and maintains proportional scaling.
Step 3: Assemble the Frame
- Cut materials for the frame and supports. Ensure the frame is sturdy enough to hold the board and additional features.
- Use screws and glue for assembly. Reinforce corners with brackets if needed.
- Optional: Fill gaps with spray foam or plaster, then paint for a finished look.
Step 4: Add Ailment Holes
- Trace ailment holes onto the board using a projector, printed grid, or hand sketch.
- Cut the holes using a hand saw, drill, or jigsaw.
- Protect the edges by installing corner bead, which can also function as a circuit element.
