My birthday (41, ouch) was a relaxed get together with friends. Played bocce, had a few drinks and went out to dinner in my old university town. Gifts-wise, people went overboard. A bunch of dice, card and board games, and this great wooden model from Ugears: a working
safe, nice and big and just begging to store valuables or messages in, then having the players hunt for the code. Or try and open it by feeling the tumblers slide into place.

| Some assembly required: 176 wooden parts, no glue but quite a lot of sanding to get toothpick axles to fit. | | |
|
|
Size is 19.5 x 18.5 x 17.5 cm on the outside, inner space 15.5 x 14.5 x 10.5 cm (the lock with its three rotating disks takes up a bit of space). Locking the safe is as easy as rotating the dial counterclockwise a couple of times; unlocking requires dialing in the correct code going left/right/left. You can change the code during assembly and
technically also afterwards, although that will take a lot of difficult work.

| So much loot inside, you won't believe it. At least once I get a huge pile of coins to actually fill this thing. Two liters worth of volume is a lot of coins. |
...I just spotted two more models on the Ugears site: a dice tower and a folding DM screen. Splinters, here I come.
