On a crowded board, players identify tokens by outline, not detail. Aim for a bold, unmistakable shape readable from two meters away. Test by shrinking your sketch and asking friends to guess quickly.
The DNA of a Great Monopoly Token
From Sketch to Table: A Practical Workflow
Build a mood board of silhouettes, period details, and textures. Include everyday scale cues like coins and pawns. Limit references to a tight theme to avoid drift, and link your board in the comments for feedback.
Scale, Weight, and Ergonomics
Size that suits the board
Aim for a footprint roughly the size of one property rectangle and a height under a house piece. Oversized tokens obscure art; tiny ones vanish. Share scale photos beside coins to help others judge proportions quickly.
Storytelling and Set Cohesion
Limit a set to one clear concept, like seaside crafts or midcentury city life. Repeat geometry echoes and material treatments across pieces. Post sketches for each slot, and ask readers which object completes your narrative best.
Testing, Iteration, and Community Feedback
Swap tokens without explanation and ask players to name them after one glance. Note errors and confusion, then adjust angles or exaggerate distinctive features. Upload your results so others can replicate the test and compare findings.
