Having been VERY much inspired by Daniel's DaBuild Jumanji Board transformation using the toy from ''Spin Master'', I decided to give it a shot.
My Jumanji Board was made by Markpoon here on the board, so anyone who got one from him can follow this mod to do theirs in this way if they wish.
Enter one under $50 Jumanji Board game ......

....... immediately gutted to extract the electronics.

I simply unscrewed the 5 fixing points from underneath, and it comes out as a whole component very easily.
The bright green dome it comes with is also easily removed by unscrewing 3 further screws keeping it in place.

The primary intention for the dome that came with Markpoon's board was not meant to be used to place an LCD screen under it, so it had quite a few scratches and was not polished.
Some ultra-fine sandpaper and subsequent polish with a cleaning solution for silver did the trick.

I then carved out a space for the extracted electronics.
Everything is exactly ''as is'', ie no modifications made to the component I extracted from the game.
The only thing I did was remove the ''on / off'' switch from it's casing, and cut the wires.
A hole was also made on the side to insert the switch, which I later rejoined.

Those with a Markpoon board will have to cut it in order to allow the dome to pop up from underneath.

After placing the board game top over the LCD screen, I added small bits of plastic (later painted black) in order to raise the space for the dome to be flush with the bottom of the board.

I placed (no need for glue) the dome on top of those plastic thingies and that was it.
Total time, 2.5 hours.
This is the result ...... (best viewed directly on youtube for size)
