Folding Game Board

Step-by-step instructions on making a folding game board.

Materials:
- pressed (not corrugated) cardboard about 1/16" thick
- duct tape
- printable full-sheet labels

Step 1 Cut boards

Cut 4 7.5"x7.5" squares from pressed cardboard. I used Bienfang illustration board
but any pressed (not corrugated) cardboard that's about 1/16" thick will do.

 Thanks for the simple instructions.  I have been trying to find ways to make a game board using just a desktop printer.  Having 4 A4 size sections works perfectly.

Where did you get the pressed cardboard

[degroof]

I've found it at OfficeMax, Staples and occasionally Michael's. I've seen it sold under the brands Bienfang and Elmer's. Usually comes in 20"x30" sheets. The description is typically something like "14 ply illustration board". You can get it online but only in packs of 12, and you only need half a sheet for the game board.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to swing by office depot and see if they carry it.

That's pretty awesome. I wonder if I could use something like this for a Settlers of Catan mat. Did you design the board game as well?

Yes, my son and I decided on the general layout and I grabbed some images off the web to create the background.
