MakerBot Industries

That’s right folks — people interested in video games have noticed that MakerBot’s own in-house designer, Skimbal, has created a set that allows folks to play a physical, table-top version of the classic city-creation game!  In his post, Kotaku’s Luke Plunkett calls for a set of rules that might transform this playset from a mere recreation of elements in a classic videogame into a fully dynamic table-top gaming experience.

Yes, that’s right, a board game.  Dare to dream!

I, for one, suggest that it should use non-6-sided dice.  I am in for anything that allows me to roll a d20.  At any rate, it looks like the giftability index for this particular set of prints has just shot through the roof!
