Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

That's all inlay, right? I'd bet there's over a month of work just in that. That's a really slick piece. Table games need a comeback. I'm making a glass top Carrom board.

Oooh, can I shamelessly plug my abstract strategy game I'm working on? https://github.com/GreenAnts/Amalgam_Webgame/tree/main

It's completely free, open source, and licensed to the creative commons. But still in development. (Looking for contributors to help out though if you or anyone else is interested)

Neat, looks like 4d Go.

Hello, Yes. I get that you are not the primary source of this image, but it's kind of a crime to ONLY show it folded out. We need to see how this looks when folded up. It's so glorious.

Certain things are mandatory. Folding device, ahem, alleged folding devices must be show in at least two configurations, open and closed. I don't make the rules.

@PugJesus
These were a style. Haven't found a picture of one folded up.

An intricate Chessboard.
