Week 3 Update

As materials for the final design of the board were ordered and mostly delivered, we continue to work on the construction of the board and game mechanics.

One mechanic we wish to include involves the use of LED lights. These lights will be used to show a player's ownership of certain properties. Although we initially wished to use the LEDs on both layers of the board, in order to get the game board working by the deadline we are limiting the lights to the lower layer of the board.

Another feature we would like to add is transportation, similar to the railroads in Monopoly. They will be most likely airports a player can own, but can also be used to travel to a different location to avoid an opponent's territory. A player will only be able to move forwards to the next airport. We are still debating whether or not only one player will be able to own the transportation sites in order to utilize them for moving forward or allowing all players to use them, but at a fee. If another player owns the site, you would pay your opponent to use the transportation feature.
