[For the "Create a Mario Party Board Contest #4"]
Basic idea
This board is themed around the better and greener Mario.
My goal was to represent as much Luigi as I could, but not always in a direct way.
The board itself
If you want to you can devide the board into 5 different areas. On the top left you can spot a Paper section with Mario and Luigis house and a rainbow as it's main attractions. If you land on the ?-space next to the house you will get one out of six questions - of course with Luigi as their theme. Why is there a rainbow?! Have you never played Paper Mario Color Splash where Luigi drives on the rainbow?
On the bottom right you can find a Luigi's Mansion section where Boo is located. Uuuuu... and don't land on the ?-spaces or you will be portet to the other... hihihihi. The rest of this section should be clear.
The bottom left and top right are contrary sections. The L-section stands for Luigi. if you go there you need to have a lucky time, because TWO !-spaces, a Bowser and a Game Guy space is there. Don't get clumsy there! The Γ-section stands for Waluigi (and I know that his symbol is mirrored, but it fits the board best - and who cares
The center of this map is filled with flowers. For whom could Luigi have placed them there? If you land on a ?-space in the circle the 8 bit Luigi will give you some coins - if you are lucky even a lot of coins. Otherwise the center is the place to go if you want to go a specific way.

Yes, I know that SIX Game Guy spaces are a lot
Yes, this is a lucky board
Not only do you have SIX Game Guy spaces, but the warp boxes from Huey, the L-zone and ?-spaces in the Mansion-zone are maing this board a perfect place for Luigi
Easter eggs SPOILERS
If you want to search them by yourself: Do it now.
On the bottom left are some ballons to represent the minigame from Super Mario Odyssey.
The Poltergeist should be obvious.
There are two things hidden behind plants: A watch from NSLU to represent to small timelimit there and a special girl for Luigi... Who could this be?
The rainbow was explained earlier.
The Luigi + Daisy-statue is from Mario Kart Wii's Daisy Cuircet.
There are 2 caps on the map: One from luigi and one from Waluigi.
Can you spot more?!
Creation of this board
To make it not so long:
1) I had the idea of the 4 corner-zones to represent Luigi right before I got to sleep, the next day I draw all the paths on a paper (0.9mm width), colored the top corners and the L- and Γ-zone (yes, they are hand drawn) and scanned it in paint.net. There I made the boarders of the paths a bit more nice and divided the top left and bottom right from the rest. Then I searched for textures and used them on the board. Now it was time for the spaces and custom events (thanks for the help with the ?-spaces, Airsola) and to finish the board of I added the details (flowers, enemies, etc.). This took a lot of time - but here is the finished (and my 2nd ever) board
One small thing to mention
If you go on the 4-split-path with a reverse-mushroom, you CAN go in all directions, but you need to turn first with the arrow facing between to paths. This is self-explaining if you can in this situation.
And I'm bad in English
