A dedicated fan of classic board games, I am rarely taken with newly released games — with a few exceptions, of course. One of those exceptions is a new strategic board game that draws its inspiration from the seafaring of old and is presented as a beautiful, foldable 3D printed set. The game, called Adella: the Game of Crimps, is arguably as impressive in its design as it is in its gaming concept.

Israeli fashion designer Danit Peleg first became interested in 3D printing in 2015 when she decided to explore the technology for her graduate project. The collection was not only a personal triumph for Peleg—who taught herself 3D modeling and printing pretty much from scratch—but it also marked the first ready-to-wear collection fully 3D printed using a desktop machine.
