Week 9

Sara Corson and Haley Herron painting lettering on the bottom tier

South side painted

The construction of the board continues as details are added. Letting for the for sides of the board are stenciled and hand painted silver. The center column was painted gold and a top plate on the second tier was added that can serve as a "pot luck" spot, which was also painted gold.

Circular ceramic magnets were added to the back of the board above the circuitry with double sided tape. This allows the pieces to move along the slanted side of the board without falling off.

Our current pieces are a hamburger, fortune cookie, and a donut which were all created with the 3D printers. Each with had a magnet embedded into the piece or attached. One more piece still needs to be created.

Figure 1: Scaling for rent

The price scalings for property rent were finalized.The upgrades on each spot add a small increase in rent on the particular property that was upgraded. On the top tier, the Farm adds $50 thousand to the rent to the entire side, the Expansion tile adds $100 thousand, and the Food Distribution doubles the rent.

As you own more utilities and transportation centers, their rent increases. The base rent for utilities is $10 thousand. When buying a another utility, the base rent of $10 thousand increases by $30 thousand for each first tier property and $50 thousand for each second tier property. The rent will no longer be multiplied by the number of utilities owned.

The usage price of the transportation center also raises from $10 thousand to $20 thousand dollars when they are owned by a player. The flow of the money depends on which player or players own the location.
