Hello !

I've been recently playing a game called “Palia” with my friends, and there is a Chinese New Year market which has a mini-game that I couldn't help but recreate to print ! I haven't printed  this yet, but it should come out pretty nice. I split the rack which has a lock/key with a small tolerance.

I've taken some liberties in the tile design and game setup to fit real world play. I think they look nice with my own flair, but I could make another version that is closer to the shape that they have in the game, or a version that is more paint friendly if people would like me to. 

The game would pack nicely into a fabric bag with a pull string for travel !

There are various versions of the tiles now. v5 is the same as the first version (with round corners similar to a majhong tile) except that the design on the rear has been tightened up so it prints better with bridging and no support. v2 matches the game style closer and v3 I removed the borders so it is even closer to the game with sharp edges.

There is also 2 Rack designs: I recommend the light version for various reasons.

PRINT:

To play you need 4 copies of each tile and 4 players. There are 8 sets of 3 tiles, which is 96 tiles. 

• 4x copies of each tile = 96 tiles
• 4x tile stands

Recommended settings: 0.4mm nozzle, 0.12mm layer height, 20% infill

I recommend printing the tiles at 85% size, the original turned out a little bit too big

EASY RULES:

Shuffle tiles face down in centre of table. Each person takes 8 tiles for their rack. Stack the remaining tiles in a square in the centre: 2 tiles high, 8 tiles long each side - similar to mahjong. Take 1 tile from the top stack of one corner and face up in the centre of the square.

The goal is to get 3 sets of 3 tiles - Each are either 3 of a kind, or all 3 of a set. 

• 3 of a kind = 120 points
• All 3 of a set = 60 points

On each turn a player will either take the next tile from the wall (top then bottom, then the next in line), or one of the tiles on the far right of another players discard line. They will then choose a tile to discard and put it face up in their discard line (a line from left to right in front of their rack).

The game ends either when a player collects 3 sets, or the tiles in the centre run out (around 20 rounds). Everyone gets all the points for all matched sets at the table, the winner gets 360 bonus points !

NOTE: This is based on a minigame found in a game called Palia, owned by Singularity 6, I do not own it's IP, this is a fan recreation not for sale or monetary profit

Happy printing !
