Build, Build, Build. We find it’s best to build the base (playing surface) first and then add details as you go. Grab some cardboard, make your playing surface, and start making walls.

Week Four
You should have a basic plan by now and it’s time to get building. I find it’s best to build the base first and then work on the details. It will make it so you have a visible outline to build around. It also makes it easy to divide jobs. A couple of team members can work on the base and the rest can work on additional structures like houses and tunnels. As a bonus you can play your course as you work to iron out the problems.

Imagine your project
A good place to start is picking a theme and doing some rough sketches.
