Monopoly Electronic Banking Card 5 and 6

thingiverse

My kids were determined to see if they could hack into Monopoly Electronic Banking by adding more cards. They experimented with different patterns on the card reader and figured out a way to design a card that would register as player five and six. My son created the custom cards using TinkerCad, carefully crafting the tab patterns necessary for them to work seamlessly. His brother wanted to give it a personal touch, so he added a San Francisco Giants logo to one of the cards. With some tweaking, they got everything up and running smoothly. We used a card design from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:281177) as our starting point and made it slightly thicker at 0.8mm for better stability. To give the SF logo some extra flair, we borrowed one from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2536095/files), but tweaked its depth to make it blend in perfectly with the card. One thing that caught our attention was the possibility of replacing the original four cards with custom-made ones – something we might consider doing down the line.
