This is the fourth game board I’ve made for this game. I guess this is my obligatory LJ tumbling block, but without the cutting board.
The background design is Hickory, Walnut, and Mahogany. The playing surface is Maple with Walnut “dots” (they mark where the corners would be on a straight-sided board)
A lot of people I know play this game and there are several web sites that sell the boards in plywood or painted MDF, but they are all straight sided with 4 or 6 sides. When I wanted to make my own I had to be different and settled on a round design. Each of the 4 I’ve made so far have been unique, with different background patterns.
Finish is 4 coats of lacquer (so far).

Speechless! Your workmanship is wonderful. I love the color of your blocks which set off the effect better. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks guys! Google “Jokers & Pegs” for more info. It is real similar to the game Sorry. The 2 separate rings are a 4-player or a 6-player game.

Yeah, I’d like to have the game board just to impress my friends – forget about knowing how to play the game!!! What are the pegs made out of.

Jordan- I use marbles for the game pieces and several decks of regular playing cards (3-5, depending on preference)

Outstanding piece Robert. I’m going to have to drive up some day so you can show me how to play on this. If I’m going to learn the game … May as well be learned on the best looking Jokers & Pegs board I ever seen.
Good stuff Robert!
