New 6-in-1 Board Game Invention: Play Chess, Checkers, Connect 4 & More

For my Year 11 (2022-2023 ) UK High School (Middle School for America) GCSE Design Technology Project, we were tasked with making a product either to combat an issue with 'travel' or 'rapid changes in society'. After a year's worth of research, brainstorming, sketching, designing, making, CAD Modelling, prototyping, testing, evaluating etc... I finally ended up with a multi-board games product: Connect 4, Chess, Checkers, Backgammon and Hockey all in 1!!!!

This was my proudest project so far in my life, a real passion.
This project was also the 2nd in my school's history to get full 100/100 marks!!

At university (or just after I graduate), I plan on remaking this product, with many improvements and changes (still unsure if I will go on to sell it or not), so this video is here to showcase the product, inspire people, and prove that this was my idea/project if anyone tries to patient it as their own.

It's been a year since I created the product, that I forgot it also has a TicTacToe game...

So that's why it says 6 games at 13:31 and you see some TicTacToe CAD in the books at 9:10

(to be fair, I didn't have enough time to get the final board to have the 3x3 TicTacToe layout on it)

That’s the most creative thing I’ve seen
