everything is okay...
i agree with some of the changes david suggested, but everything seems fine to me, and no we will not punch you in the face we will give you a hug! instead!
:)
:)
looks good meagan. some of the letters could be lead or kerned a little closer, the font is weird that way.
don't worry about the boxes on the corners, the cards are going to remain the same size.
the board being moved around alot during game play would shift the cards anyhow.
no one on the team is going to punch you in the face.
(but watch out for flying monkey guides!!!)
is there any design ideas for the corners? like maybe the tree of life
on every corner, or a butterfly or four of the spirit animals, or all of the above.
(all is well.)

I'm really really sorry for letting you guys down on Wednesday. You guys totally have the right to punch me in the face next time you see me. I'm sorry I've been MIA the past few days. A lot of stuff went down and I should have made the time to let you guys know what was up. I just felt so guilty about not showing up on Wednesday, that I've been avoiding you guys till I have something worthy to show you. So here's the completed gameboard, and I got it printed (on a smaller scale) to make sure that the colors and everything looked okay, which they do. If you want me to make any changes, I can. I know I need to add the new eye design, as well as the drawings in the four corners. I tried some boxes for the cards, but they looked crappy, so I think as long as we mention that you can put the cards on the corners in the rules, it should be fine. I scaled the board down to 18x18", that way it is sure to fit inside the box. Once these changes are made and you guys give me the okay on the revised design, I'll go get it printed full scale and I'll make the board. If it's possible to get the few things that I need to complete the board I can have it all done this weekend and then have time to help out with the many other things we have to finish. Sorry about this again guys, I'm an ass.

Mmmmk. I'm really frustrated trying to do this game board background, because a lot of the ideas I have aren't working. The ones that do work don't end up matching the designs you two are doing. SO, I have a few ideas below that I think might work.
So, I thought we could keep is simple with printing on cloth. We could have it printed on a thinner cloth and glued to the game board, or on a thicker cloth, and not have any cardboard behind it. I could dye the cloth a bit to make it look older, like the game. It might look more like an old map, depending on the cloth used.
I always liked the fold out game boards, but I don't think printing on wood would be easy AT ALL. Reminds me of Jumanji. But it would be kick ass and match the figurines.
Alright, the next three don't have to do with the game, I just thought they looked neat and were inspirational.

I'll bring my failed attempts with me tomorrow so you can laugh at how horrible they are. Although have of the time I realized too late that I was working at the wrong size and had to delete them >_<.

I know this doesn't have anything to do with the project, but I thought it was important. Here are some links to oppose the orphan works bill. It takes like 2 minutes to do, it's really easy, and hopefully it will stop this bill. Spread the link around if you can.
The Illustrators Partnership has drafted a special letter for this purpose.

Spirit Animal Game Board Rules
Object of the Game: Is to protect your monkey guide from hunters, while getting through the four worlds to reach the Spirit Tree to discover your Spirit Animal.
Equipment:
- Game Board
- 4 decks of cards (Riddle Cards, Integrity Card, Spirit Aid, and Spirit Animal Cards.)
- 4 wooden people with monkey guides
- 2 dice
Setup:
- Start your wooden players at START.
- Whoever rolls the highest goes first, in return rotating clockwise.
- Set all cards accordingly, in their perspective piles around the board.
Game Play:
- Role dice to progress across the game board.
- If you land on the same space as another player, it is quite all right, stay put.
- When landing on a Spirit Space you must immediately pick up a Spirit Aid Card to further aide you in your quest through out the game. For Example: To aid you from the harmful affects of Riddle Cards, Integrity Spaces and Cards.
- When landing on a Riddle Space you must immediately pick up a Riddle Card. The player to the left must read this Riddle to you, to assure cheating is not involved. Whatever you answer will be reveled, if correct you receive a Spirit Aid Card, to aid when needed, and if incorrect the Riddle Card will reveal what you will loose.
- When landing on an Integrity Card Space you must immediately pick up an Integrity Card. The player to left must read this card to you, to assure cheating is not involved. Your answer determines you destiny, to proceed forward or move back. Integrity Card will reveal what you have at steak.
- When landing on Sliders you slide two spaces forward and land on the third space, stay put. You can only slide when you land on the actual Slider space, not in between.
- Spirit Animal ¬¬Cards are received in the end of the game, when the winner reaches the Spirit Tree, this card will reveal your Spirit Animal.
To Win:
Be the first to get the Spirit Tree. The more Spirit Aid Cards you have, the more chances you have at receiving the ultimate Spirit Animal. When this happens, the other players loose, and do not get to discover their Spirit Animal. We advise you to play again; destiny was not in your favor.

You guys also mentioned possibly having mythical spirit animals, so I found one for each region:
Four mythical
Asia: dragon or phoenix
Africa: DANH also DAN AYIDO HWEDO (Dahomey) Snake god. The Haitians know him as Dan Petro. The Rainbow Snake who encircles the world, Danh is often portrayed with his tail in his mouth as a symbol of unity and wholeness.
The circle was particularly important to Dahomeyan myth where the snake-god Danh circled the world like a belt, corsetting it and preventing it from flying apart in splinters.
North America: Unicorn (this is really interesting and why I chose North America for the unicorn)
South America: Quezacotl. In pre-Columbian cultures of Central America, a feathered serpent god of air and water.
