Feeling like I am getting further forward with the function of the game, I have been able to start thinking about some of the possible designs for the game.
I was thinking more specifically about the 'chance' and 'community chest cards, and how I would like to change the original design. I started thinking about the gender symbols, I don't want to have just the female symbol as sometimes people portray feminism as women fighting for just women, when it is actually fighting for equal rights. So I discussed this to my housemate, saying I would do both symbols together, when she said I should look into all of the symbols. This is a great idea, there are so many gender titles now but didn't realise that there were gender symbols as well. I realised that it was shocking that I didn't know all of the different signs and thought this is definitely something that could be used as an educational prompt in the game.
I mean this by using the symbols to make a discreet pattern for the 'chance' and 'community chest' cards' backgrounds and also the background patter for the rules leaflet. I say 'prompt', as I hope this would be an opportunity to create question within the children, so they might be inspired to independently research what the signs mean, in turn creating further education beyond the board game itself.
