About The Board Bòrd-spèilidh

'S e bòrd-spèilidh a ghabhas pasgadh a th' anns a' Bhòrd, air a dhealbhadh airson giùlan agus stòradh furasta. Tha an deic air a dhèanamh de 57 lùdagan-maide a tha ag eadar-cheangal ri chèile. Le bhith a' pasgadh nan lùdagan an dàrna taobh no an taobh eile, thèid cruth clasaigeach a' chruiser atharrachadh gu cearcall foirfe. Anns a' chruth chearcallach, thèid am Bòrd a-steach do phoca-droma agus faodar a chumail ann an àiteachan cumhang no a thaisbeanadh mar nì sgeadachaidh aig an taigh. Tha alùmanam, iarann agus plastaig air an cleachdadh san togail. Tha am pròiseas cruth-atharrachaidh a' toirt tarraing lèirsinneach shoilleir don dealbhadh.
