I was introduced to this board game not too long ago. Purchased online, the set included four black plastic racks on which to set the tiles that are the objects of the game.
The woodworking challenge is to construct a three level "terrace" with the appropriate grooves where to set the tiles so the player has a good view of them. I think the photos are self explanatory, for the most part. The base is 1/2 inch plywood. The "terraces" are 1/4 plywood and the racks are from scrap mahogany.
The top "terrace" is 1-1/2 inch wide; the middle "terrace" level is 2-5/8 inch wide and the base is 4 inches - all tapered with a 20 degree slant.

The racks are first dimensioned to 3/4 by 3/4 inch and a 1/4 inch grooved dado along the entire length. The table saw blade was set to 20 degrees incline.
Always a woodworking truism, one cannot have too many clamps.
