Lights out? Early night. Or toasting marshmallows over tealight candles.
I used to live on a narrowboat and got quite used to amusing myself with little or no “powered entertainment”. Playing cards by candlelight can be glorious.

In the theme of “doesn’t-require-electricity-to-play” I’ve hit a few snags with my Head-over-Heels-on-the-tabletop project.
Namely that I’m coming up with some puzzle-y rooms that I think will transfer well to a roll-and-move board game (check out the project blog for justifications, I’m not going through it here!) and some of my best puzzle-rooms have floating blocks.

On the cards for each room, I’m showing the height of the floating blocks (it’s not always obvious from an isometric perspective) and as I’ve played these through in my head, I think they work. But I want to put something down on the tabletop. Which has left me wondering…..

….. how do I make the blocks float?
I could maybe use clear flight stands. But then walking under them would be tricky. So maybe little clear stands on each corner?
Over to you guys? If I wanted a block to float “three squares up” off the floor – how would I do that?

Here’s your music. It’s The Bites again. I’m really enjoying their album
