Monopoly Board Game (CSS3+LESS)

mattster 2 999 Views

I was looking for something similar myself a few days ago, and found the odd example of a CSS based monopoly-type game board. To be honest, they were all shabby examples made with code that left my eyes bleeding.

I decided to make my own board and get it right (hopefully). So here is my attempt at a monopoly board using minimal CSS and HTML.

Usage:

Use <div class='board'>...</div> to contain your board. Then for each tile, use <section class='{direction} {features}'>...</section>

You can use left, right and up as directions (assuming your players work up the board...) and the following feature classes: start; end; danger; active.

I've set it up to use the Font Awesome library, but this can be adapted into something else.

Here is a demo on Codepen. Hope you like it.
