DIY 'Super Mario'-Themed Board Game

by Kendra Cunningham on May 31, 2009 at 05:36 PM


Classic Nintendo fans missing old-school Mario can now play 'Super Mario Brothers' without a console, or even electricity, thanks to designer Ashley Buerkett's build-it-yourself, Mario-styled board game. If you have the patience and skill to cut out strictly shaped pieces of paper and use them to construct a castle, some hills, dice, and mushroom trees, then this promises to be a pretty neat little alternative to Monopoly and Candy Land.

In addition to the paper cut-outs, the game comes with a plexi-glass box, blueprints, and two Nintendo controllers with instructions printed on the back. [From: Ashley Buerkett, via LikeCool]
