Abduct your balls with the U. F. T! Have a close encounter of the hexagonal kind with Hextraction, the hackable 3D-printed board game. This is tile 1 of 5 in the paranormal Booster Pack 4: The Hex-Tiles.

The Unidentified Flying Tile wouldn't look out of place in a cheesy B-movie, but it's packing a cosmically wacky effect. A strong magnet ensnares your ball like a tractor beam, then the whole tile flies back into the pool, taking the ball with it! The next time the UFT touches down, it releases the ball right back into play.

You'll need a 10x2mm neodymium magnet: {link}. If balls are rolling right through, stack on another magnet.

I couldn't fit it on the card, but you should clear the abducted balls after the game. Otherwise, next round, a galactic menace could teleport right to the end zone and give you a highly uncomfortable probing. Also, the word 'Abduct' on the card isn't a new keyword mechanic, it's just for flavor.

Both the tile and its card are a two-part design - the Saucer and the Base. Print them (I recommend separately, so you can make the Base a contrasting color) and glue them together. For multi-color printing, drag pairs of 2-Color elements into your slicer together. For single-color, find the 1-Color versions. The Tile Base is common for both versions. Also, you'll need supports for the Saucers. FYI, you can glue a full-size Saucer to the Card, but I also provided a special flattened Card Saucer version. If you're using Bambu Studio, I've prepared two ready-to-print 3MF files, one each for Saucers and Bases.

This was inspired by Digiholic's "Time Warp Tile" idea from the Hextraction Discord! Let them know what you think at https://discord.gg/voidstarlab.

If you'd like to edit the tile, the source is here: https://a360.co/3QCtdCi While you're free to re-distribute the tile outside Thangs' paywall, I'd like to ask that you at least modify it a bit. The more people buy Booster Packs, the more time I can devote to making more.
