Title: Ideas for a high score board?
Post by: eezeetee on November 18, 2014, 12:53:25 pm

Brand new to this forum (friend recommended it)

Looking for an ideas on building a high score board for multiple games.

I've ruled out the electronic/LED option due to price
I don't think a letterboard would look all that nice (like this : http://site.unbeatablesale.com/img154/pixels650/aarc1367_650.jpg (http://site.unbeatablesale.com/img154/pixels650/aarc1367_650.jpg))

Thinking maybe a felt background or the like?

Anyone with some recommendations?

Thanks and glad to be here.

If you have an old monitor and PC,  you don't need to spend any money. This is all you need to do:

Why not hang a chalkboard on the wall and use colored chalk?

Or a whiteboard?

It's quite satisfying to wipe someone else's score off the board and write in your own with your name.
