Magnetic Fast Track Game

Fast Track is one of a number of North American race games in which cards are used to control movement of pieces around the board.

The rules can be found on the Internet at http://www.pagat.com/race/fast_track.html

I wanted something unique, so I designed pieces that could snap into place with magnets.

The board is approximately 20" in diameter, so I made individual sections which could be 3D printed and then glued to a round wooden board.

It takes a lot of magnets, but Harbor Freight has them in packs of 10 for $2.99 each. You will need 16 packages since there are 157 magnets total.

I purchased the round board in which to mount the 3D pieces at Home Depot. I coated the round board with an epoxy coating that is glossy and looks like 50 coats of varnish.

Paint and glue completes the list of materials you will need to provide.

I added the railroad tracks and a train engine just for the fun of it. Fast Track.... get it. I know, my sense of humor showing.
