Welcome to Round 40! What a milestone for us! Those who are here since the beginning know that every 5th round is a special round. The rules are different, so please read them.

Voting will be for best icons in each set and best sets. This challenge will run for 30 days.

Sign up with your username.

A Monopoly Board has 40 spaces, so for this round I've used a blank Monopoly board and added 5 different types of prompts: Words(W), Textures(T), Technique(TN), Palettes(P) and Colours(C). There are 6 of each kind (you can see the board below).

How to play:

1. Roll a dice. You can use a real one or this one online.

2. Move as many spaces as you've rolled.

3. If you land on 'Go back to the Start', then you will keep your prompts you already landed on but you'll have to start over again for the next set of prompts.

4. The 'Free Choice' box allows you to icon as you please.

5. 'Skip to the next round' allows you to jump to the 'Start' position & continue the game.

6. A box with '?' is the equivalent of a 'Chest' in the actual Monopoly game. You'll have to check the correct colour of '?' and the prompt on the board.
HOWEVER, the first '?' says 'repeat a prompt'. You can repeat any prompt you already got. But in case you roll a '5' on the first round, then feel free to skip this one and continue on the board from there. From the second round onwards, you can make full use of the 'repeat a prompt' option if you land on it.

7. All the prompts & inspo icons are under the cut. So make sure to check under the cut!

8. You can make from 5-20 icons for this round.
