Shape-coded cube caps for colour-blind players

Make player pieces readable without colour

A thin hexagonal shell drops over a standard 8 mm wooden cube, so one player's cubes are recognisable by shape as well as colour. Print the other players' sets in the triangle, heart, gear or star base types and nobody has to ask which red is which again. Print it as shown, then turn it over so the floor becomes the top.
