Train Stations


Ive started developing my ideas for the board game, in particular the 'Train Station' squares. I'd already decided that i wanted to use internet campaigns in which the players can 'purchase' with votes and in turn lead the internet campaigns. Feminist Internet campaigns have become increasingly popular with how quick an issue can be shared/seen around the world.
The main sources of social media are Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, which are all platforms used within a campaign. Although i am going to use twitter as the symbol within the game, i have chosen this social media site as out of the three it is probably one of the most popular, but you can also share tweets of text or image or both, where instagram is just image based. 
Instagram and Twitter are probably the best out of the three with them having more celebrity followers, who could potentially add more to a campaign if well-known people got behind it.

I could have chosen a mixture of the sites to go on the board, but i made a conscious decision to keep it consistent, like the original game.
I also decided to go with the symbol but keep it black so it keeps in theme with the original board but also because there are two blue colours on the board already so i thought it would look better.
