    THIS REMINDS ME of a great PVP game from Puzzle Pirates where you get to keep any gold that drops to the bottom on your turn. It was really fun and satisfying to get multiple coins through at once and have them land on the multiplier tile. There's room to some cool modifiers of the rules to Hextraction. All you need to make something like the coin dropping game is a part that releases a trapped marble when a marble enters from the opposite side, and allows both marbles to fall.

    2 things about that “open me” unfolding tile I’d like to say 1. Are you allowed to fold it up again/unfold it again after it’s been placed, and do you have to be the person who placed it to do that? I’ presume that if you can do this, you can only do it once per turn, only when placing tiles/not while rolling balls. 2. I wanted to try to come up with an interesting idea, and having seen that folding tile, I thought of this: a folding 2-segment tile where one of the segments will trap a ball inside the center, which, once a ball is trapped, will then be folded “closed”, making the ball exit the other tile. The folding closed/releasing of the ball could be written in the rules to only occur under certain conditions, like immediately once a ball is trapped, or maybe anybody can release it at any time during their rolling turn, or maybe another ball has to come along and prompt the release of the trapped ball, etc. You could try many ideas with it. You could maybe print the piece to make it orientable in any direction, only where the trap tile is below the release tile, or any other things. The release tile could be anything too, it could release in any direction you choose, it could be random. You probably couldn’t release it back into the trap tile, since you’d have to unfold the tile fast enough for that, but if you can, maybe with some sort of manual release mechanism in the release tile, you could maybe make a route through the trap tile where the ball can pass through without getting trapped again. Something else you could do is design the trap tile in a way that makes the chance of getting trapped random, or where only certain entrances trap a ball. Maybe when 1 ball is trapped, other balls can roll over it and right on through the trap scott free. Basically, there’s a lot of ways you could go with this trap and release folding tile idea. I’d imagine the way it works is that the release tile has there sorts of ceilings on the exits that the trap tile’s entrances can sorta slot into when folded, if you understand what I mean by that. There’d probably be a rule on the piece about not being able to fold it trap down, where the balls can get stuck with nowhere to release them. If I haven’t already said, the release tile would probably let balls through like a normal tile would. I lost my direction with all of the ideas there, but in summary, a folding trap and release tile where you trap a ball and fold the trap tile onto the release tile to release the ball. You could try a lot of different things with this idea, as I, eh, “explained”.

    I love this! When I was a kid I loved marble runs so this is really cool to me. For those gutters on the fancy board, all you'd need to do is create a ramp that tilts toward one side with a end cap to create a ball collection area. I know this takes time to create... so even if you decide not to add it, I'm sure somebody will come up with something.

    I’ve got a new tile idea Tile design: enterable on all sides, with a large hole in the middle for balls to fall through and out of the board. Each entrance is jagged to indicate a trigger. Trigger: When a ball enters this tile through a certain side, this tile must swap positions with the tile on that side. If this tile can’t move to that position for whatever reason (i.e. the swap target tile’s rules, trying to swap with the entry ramps, etc.), this tile will self-destruct. Maybe it could be called a “predator” tile or something.

    A possible solution for ongoing effects: tiles that physically keep track of whether the effect is currently active (eg. through a flipflopped component). No bookkeeping required, just look at the tile itself for its state!

    I'm starting to print these now, but the bridge support tab seems completely unnecessary and makes printing these much more annoying than they need to be. Also, most of the tile models are meshes, not STEP so modifying them becomes a huge chore. Edit: Printing more pieces and I'm noticing that so many of these parts could have been designed with no glue needed, no splitting of the parts, not even supports needed. I'm really scratching my head here. Also, the names of the files don't match what's in this video so printing the necessary parts was frustrating. The tolerances were also needlessly large and if you have a well tuned printer, the gaps between parts are huge.

    Imagine the different “game modes” you could come up with by choosing select playable tiles, making boards with different dimensions, or even pre-placing tiles before the round begins, maybe even deeming some undestroyable (of course, ideally only doing that if those tiles won’t cause a blockage in the path towards the goal, wether intentionally or unintentionally). An Idea I just came up with is placing in portals all along the bottom of the board, or at least most of it, and then placing out portals at the top where balls don’t enter the board, and the out portals cannot be destroyed. Placable portal tiles would also be removed from the pile, so players cannot play them. Then, the players would have to find a way to destroy the in portals (probably ideally with bombs, but any way to destroy a tile would probably work) if they’re all blocking the exits at the bottom, then maneuvering through the spaces. Of course, the players could try to use the portals to their advantage, moving their ball from one side of the board to another if it’s sectioned off. I bet there’s plenty of other cool “game mode” ideas you could come up with, I’ll try to think of more.

    I would recommend, if you are bringing tiles to a new play spot, make sure you are printing your name/brand/logo/whatever on the flip side so that it's easier to retrieve when the game is over.

    An extremely ultra chaotic tile idea: The Walker It has one entry point and gets stuck in the middle. Once entered, the top can be moved one or two tiles in any direction in a straight line other than straight down. This adds up to a lot of different tiles reached. it also adds endless possibilities of strategy/chaos as you can block a direction and you can probably combine it with a clone to make a ball army in a single go.

    Now there is a single player option I'm thinking I might have to print this out. Also this gave me an idea for single player mode powered by an Arduino. Ooh! Another idea, add in jeopardy with an automatic ball launcher. The Arduino deceases the interval between ball launches making the play faster as the game progresses.

    I can think of 3 tiles from watching this, all are fairly complex. I dont have a 3d Printer nor am i good 3d modeler so im just gonna confusingly explain the ideas: 1) The River Jump: a small ramp at the very start & end of 1 side and its parallel, add in a railing arcing from one end to the other so the ball wont Fly off the board. if the ball is fast enough it'll make the jump, if not it falls into the river, which is an X pathing into the sides. this also allows balls to come from one end of the river and leave through the other if they cant make it to the ramp entrance. 2) From Below: There is a Cup under the tile, that if the ball is at the right speed, should fall into it if there is an empty space above this tile. the ball will then roll into the exit. the tile itself is open on all sides. 3) Dilapidated Bridge: a 3 tile long bridge, with multiple holes in its center. while its 3 spaces wide, there is no tile in the middle allowing players to place another tile under neither (you might have to lift up and place back the bridge) to traverse(or place a Bomb tile for the balls that fall through), the entrance and exit of the bridge is all opening to allow all access, for such a Big Piece, give it 5 passes/hits, but still 1 Bomb explosion, regardless if the bomb only hits one part of the bridge. This one needs work, as i need to draw out the picture of this bridge, as there's more to explain how it's suppose to look.

    Holy heck, I have never been more tempted to try to learn 3d printing than I am now. My current experience consists of 30 minutes of frustration and nothing but spaghetti to show for it. I may need to seek out guidance. Or just send it off to some pros and be done with it. Edit: I have now booked 2 hours with a printer at the library to see if I can pull off a tile or two (libraries are awesome, people). If all goes well, maybe I print a whole beginner set. It's gonna take time, but it might be fun. Edit 2: Almost two weeks in, the steel balls have arrived in the mail, and I still have a load of stuff to print. Libraries letting you 3D print for free is cool and all, but there is certainly a capacity limit with this approach. I have some issues with the trap tiles not letting ball number 2 roll past, but I think that's fixable, either by printing layers thinner than 0.2mm (I'll try that this week) or with some minor whittling.
