Star wars monopoly board game12/5/2023 The masking tape that comes on proofgrade draftboard from GlowForge acted as a good mask for painting the property colors. The tiles were cut from medium draft board, and will be spray painted with a sealant at some point. The tiles were painted with acrylic paint in a similar color to the original game, which will match the spaces on the game board. I also scored the mortgage information into each tile individually on the back. I used the GlowForge to score the lettering into the tiles using the Kabel Monopoly font, and cut each tile out. I designed the property cards to look similar to the original design, but moved the title outside of the color box. Add images to a new layer in Illustrator for whatever theme Monopoly board you are making. This instructable is here to show you my process in making this Monopoly board using a GlowForge, but cannot directly share any of the individual trademarked or images that were created by other artists. I do not own the copyright to these images, and am using them for my own personal use. *** Since this is a Star Wars monopoly board, I used clip art and images I found through a google image search. None of the graphics or artwork is included in those files, just the layout and grid for you to use in your own Monopoly board.*** I have attached the board grid Illustrator files below. Knowing that the GlowForge would do a combination of cutting, engraving, and scoring, I kept each of these elements on their own layer in Illustrator, and used different colors for fill and stroke so the GlowForge webapp separates each of these into their own configurable instance. Even though I have the pro model with pass through slot, I wanted a board the would fold up, so ended up making this in 2 halves. The GlowForge bed is limited to wood that is currently 12" x 20". Since I knew that I was going to use the GlowForge to score the board grid on the wood, I wanted to ensure that all the lines were joined properly and the exact length. I ended up redrawing the entire board, as I didn't find anything that was precise enough to use on my project. I found a few sites with templates as well.
