Dou Shou Qi. Own handmade version

As soon as I came back to Stratego (read more here) I researched about its origins. Old Chinese game Dou Shou Qi was the seed to many other games. Quite fascinating idea and mechanism. Nowadays it's seen as a board game for kids but it's enough complex for adults to play.

Since I can't find a copy to play I decided to make my own version which I named it "Ataque medusa" (Jellyfish Attack). I just changed the characters and I enjoyed a lot designing the board and box. I also did the instructions. It's the first time I do a handmade board game and the result is better than expected. We are lucky to live in times where an idea can be produced easily with a computer and become real in paper at minimum cost. Printed in stickers in the corner shop and cut some cardboard pieces. Fun and stylish.

I can't imagine the quality with better materials and detailed design. That will be a possible idea for a future board game soon and completely new.
