I'm sure that many people here have created their own versions of games they couldn't find or couldn't afford. I'd like to see pictures of the results.

I've seen http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist.php3?action=...istid=7..., but most of the games there don't have pictures.

Please add to this list, but make sure to include links to pictures of your version of the game!

One page with home-made games I've seen is http://w1.132.comhem.se/~u13209748/tmp/spel/Hemgjo...rt.html. I hope it'll stay, in spite of the "tmp" in the URL.

my home made copy of wiz war. tom jolly did actually email me to ensure i wasn't flogging off copies (which is obviously a breach of copyright) and that it was for my own personal use. He even was kind enough to compliment me on the production quality!

Thinking of making my own version. I have a woodshop at home that is almost entirely made up of Delta Industrial tools. As another BGGer told me, "you do not have to make the ends like a puzzle, they can be flat". Then again, it isn't like you couldn't make the puzzle ends with a template and pattern bit in a router table.

I made a copy for myself, and I'm not really happy with the results. The effort that went in to this, to me, was not worth it. That being said, I'm sure someone with more skill can craft a more aesthetic and functional clone. As my father-in-law recently told me, right before I spent the weekend sealing my driveway--"Pay someone else to do it!" I will listen to him more often. :-)

This miniature set sits happily on a card-table by my PC for online play. (I do own the HiG and Mayfair versions, of course).

Many years ago, I made a home-made Sequence board using mini-decks that arranges the cards anti-symmetrically rather than the silly spiral pattern that Jax used. We found it much easier to find each card in your hand on the board using this layout. Add 2 decks of cards and poker chips and you are ready to play.

Visit my website for a free do-it-yourself guide to making it!
http://raeside.home.mchsi.com/guides.htm

Also on that site, I have posted pictures of my Exxtra board, Lost Cities board, and Bluff game board.

The picture I chose at left is not my board but a fellow Geek's board using Rook cards.

Grmbl. The link is supposed to be http://w1.132.comhem.se/~u13209748/tmp/spel/Hemgjort.html and nothing else. I wonder where those extra dots came from?

So if people have made a bootleg copy of a game they should post it here??

You must be either mad , blind or swedish :-) ( don't worry about this , its just typical good humoured danish-swedish rivalery -now lets blow up that bridge to malmo people!! )

:D

Gee next thing you know a Rio Grande SWAT team will kick down your door or perhaps a Airborne strike by KOSMOS with choppers and lawyers !!!
or an Uberplay assassin will steal all your games rules when your out.

Sorry I fear This list will be short.

:p

Have you made some copies of the old viking board games?

Here's my list of home-made games:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist.php3?action=view&listi...

Sorry, I haven't taken any pictures yet.

I've done a couple since, but haven't updated the list (StreetSoccer, Can't Stop, For Sale).

My latest project is Das Motorsportspiel, in the style of Eddy Bee's super-cool Speed Circuit set:

And it's "handcrafted," not "bootlegged." ;)
