“…This is comparable to the work of Sullivan et al, who used a Loom to interact with a game while fabricating a tangible memento of the game [92]. Eickhoff et al presented "Destructive Games" using a laser cutter [29]. With DungeonMaker, we explore applications beyond minigames, but rather more complex scenarios, and we further allow users to create artifacts that meaningfully influence gameplay and can be lost during it.…”

“…In particular, users are willing to relinquish some of the roles they may be used to in board games and may be willing to engage with destruction in the context of board games, depending on their investment. To explore notions of craft and value-creation with a prospect of damage, we chose to embed these components in DungeonMaker, but circumvent financial value and loss [29,37]. Similarly, while we remove "chores" [75,116] like movement or scorekeeping, we introduce new ones, like crafting.…”

“…Allowing creation in conjunction with the risk of destruction adds the potential for permanent alteration and loss of self-crafted objects, which, in turn, adds risk and altered risk-taking behavior. This further goes beyond the destruction of "owned" objects [29], towards self-crafted, and likely valued, ones [79]. For miniature wargames like "Warhammer" [G2], this may mean that players' self-painted figurines weather over time (e.g., from combat or environmental effects), or that particularly risky decisions may have lasting consequences to artifacts players have grown attached to.…”

Hybrid board games (HBGs) augment their analog origins digitally (e.g., through apps) and are an increasingly popular pastime activity. Continuous world and character development and customization, known to facilitate engagement in video games, remain rare in HBGs. If present, they happen digitally or imaginarily, often leaving physical aspects generic. We developed DungeonMaker, a fabrication-augmented HBG bridging physical and digital game elements: 1) the setup narrates a story and projects a digital game board onto a laser cutter; 2) DungeonMaker assesses player-crafted artifacts; 3) DungeonMaker's modified laser head senses and moves player-and non-player figures, and 4) can physically damage figures. An evaluation (𝑛 = 4 × 3) indicated that DungeonMaker provides an engaging experience, may support players' connection to their figures, and potentially spark novices' interest in fabrication. DungeonMaker provides a rich constellation to play HBGs by blending aspects of craft and automation to couple the physical and digital elements of an HBG tightly.

“…Further, with the advent of personal fabrication technologies [71], related inventions of new physical materials also emerged that can be utilized for creating new forms of interaction (e.g., shape-changing material [72], materials as sensors [73] or utilizing fabrication technology for new hybrid game approaches [74,75]).…”

Conventional digital and remote forms of play lack the physicality associated with analog play. Research on the materiality of boardgames has highlighted the inherent material aspects to this analog form of play and how these are relevant for the design of digital play. In this work, we analyze the inherent material qualities and related experiences of boardgames, and speculate how these might shift in remote manifestations. Based on that, we depict three lenses of designing for remote tangible play: physicality, agency, and time. These lenses present leverage points for future designs and illustrate how the digital and the physical can complement each other following alternative notions of hybrid digital–physical play. Based on that, we illustrate the related design space and discuss how boardgame qualities can be translated to the remote space, as well as how their characteristics might change. Thereby, we shed light on related design challenges and reflect on how designing for shared physicality can enrich dislocated play by applying these lenses.
