L-Game Pieces and Board

See wikipedia for starting positions and rules of the L-game

In this project I’ve provided all the files you need to print and play your own L-game:

-4×4 game board (I made this on a ‘Glowforge’ laser cutter but any laser cutter/ engraver should work)
https://glowforge.us/r/ULKHATZB

-L-piece 3D model

-Neutral ‘Blocker’ piece 3D model

To play the game you will need two of each of these pieces. These can be made on just about any FDM 3D printer. (I use TAZ5 and Printrbot)

(I’ve also used the glowforge to make the blockers by cutting several discs and gluing them together, however I think 3D printing them would have been better. The .svg file to make 1″ diameter discs is also included.)

The L-game is a simple strategy game as follows:

On each turn, a player must first move their L piece, and then may optionally move one of the neutral pieces. The game is won by leaving the opponent unable to move their L piece to a new position.

Rules:

Pieces may not overlap or cover other pieces. On moving the L piece, it is picked up and then placed in empty squares anywhere on the board. It may be rotated or even flipped over in doing so; the only rule is that it must end in a different position from the position it started—thus covering at least one square it did not previously cover. To move a neutral piece, a player simply picks it up then places it in an empty square anywhere on the board.
