A couple times a month I play a table top game with a friend that is a turn-based space ship battle game from everyone's favorite space franchise. Official giant "mousepad" game mats are about 40-50 USD. I decided to make my own game board from some MDF and angle aluminum, then added some RGBW light strips to make a nice starfield effect. In practice, it's a little difficult to see in a bright room, but it works and I'm sure it'll get put to use.

Thanks for watching!
