I made a board game called Shut the Box on Fusion 360.

How to play: When playing you will get two, six sided dice and a row of tiles with numbers 1-9. When you roll your dice you will take the sum of the numbers you rolled(Say you got 2 and 5 you would get 7). After you have your sum you want to flip down tiles that add up to the number you got from your dice(If you got 7 you could flip down a 7 or a 6 and 1 or a 1 and 2 and 4 or etc). You can win by when both you and your opponent cannot flip any more tiles down who ever has the smaller sum of tiles left up( If you had a 3 and 5 and your opponent had a 9 you would win because yours add up to 8 which is smaller than your opponents 9). You can also win if you flip all your tiles down, if you both flip them all down whoever flipped them down first wins.

What I used to create the game was Fusion 360 which is a website for 3-D modeling.

What I did to create my game in Fusion was I started by making my base within the limits of 152mm x 152mm x 152mm that way I knew where I could build my game and how big it could be.

The next thing I did was start making the tiles which I had to make sure that there was braille on them displaying what number it was. I also had to make sure that the number was able to be felt so they could also feel that to tell what tile it was by feeling the number.

The final step was making the dice which I just had to make one then copy it these dice all had little bumps in them so someone that was blind could feel how many holes it had to see what number they got. Then I just made sure everything was in the right position
