Folding Board Games
These three games cover all the bases when it comes to simple entertainment for friends and family members of all ages.
Whether you enjoy a classic game of checkers, old-school cribbage, or maybe an exotic romp with mancala, these three games will delight the family with hours of offline entertainment. They’re all great for road trips as well. This is because all the parts to play each game are stored away in between the boards. Designing the games to fold up employed a piece of hardware that’s not used every day. It’s called a barrel hinge and we’ll show you how to install them. That way, when the game is open in playing mode, things keep moving smoothly across the game surface. In addition, an innovative router jig allows you to make recesses to contain all playing pieces within each board.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
