This is an abstract game with simple rules, be the one who places the final ball on top of the pyramid to win! Sounds simple? You'll requires some strategic planning, follow the rules and have fun! You don't have to print the large base although it helps with storage of the balls. This game uses balls/spheres as the playing pieces. Full spheres are known to be a difficult shape for a 3D printer to print nicely, especially the bottom half. Therefore, included are two other alternatives.

Tips & Settings:
This game uses balls/spheres as the playing pieces. Full spheres are known to be a difficult shape for a 3D printer to print nicely, especially the bottom half. Therefore, included are two other alternatives; one alternative is the half sphere where you simply super glue 2 halves to make one full sphere. The second alternative is the low poly sphere that prints in one piece with no supports.
If you find the spacing between the balls/spheres to be too far during gameplay, you can experiment with scaling up the balls a little.
