This is my take on the Balance Games flash contest!

Play time: 2 minutes (one round)

Player count: 2 players

Besides printed parts, you will also need:

8 pieces of 5 (diameter) x 3 (height) mm round neodymium magnets (For example https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005009995624789.html)
1 piece of 6 (inner diameter) x 15 (outer diameter) x 5 (height) mm bearings (For example https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005167956088.html)

You don't even need glue! Just insert them into plastic!

The rules of Drunken Helm \u00a9 (also attached as a printable PDF):

Older player gets to be the captain first
The goal of the captain is to win
The goal of the other player (first mate) is to win or draw
Captain starts the game
Players place barels on the helm one at a time
When the helm is full - game ends and the lowest piece wins
If you draw and there are 2 pieces of different colour at the bottom of the helm - first mate wins
First mate takes over, now they\u2019re the captain, play again!

All the models are colored already and optimized to be printed at 0.2 mm layer height. Basically all you need to do is open the model and click print!

If you do not have a multi-color printer - don't worry! There is no need for multiple colors at one layer, as long as you slice it at 0.2 mm layer height, you can figure out where to insert pauses and change color, even on a single color printer!

\r\nThis is the first flash contest of the year, so we wanted to start easy and have some fun. After the holidays, everyone\u2019s getting back into work mode (makers included) and this is a good way to warm up. Something playful and quick to get you back into designing mode.\r\n\r\nThe theme is balance games! Stackable figures, animals, shapes, or any little characters that only stand if they\u2019re placed right. It should be playable, stable enough to stack, and tricky enough to fall apart when you\u2019re not paying attention. Simple idea, clear rules and real balance.\r\n
