I love this map, both because I was playing gauntlet in the arcade as a kid and because it's just a fun, fast map with a really unique four-quadrant narrow-connection layout. I think it's very well balanced, and that's supported by so many people complaining about Thyra, who is in fact awesome.
Great map. It seems as though all the starting positions are pretty even, despite first appearance. Great use of advanced options to make a good, non-standard map. Good game.
Definitely one of the more interesting boards around here. Does create many different strategies based upon who you are and where you aim at dominating. Only 8 stars as only 3 of the 4 characters really have a chance (unless you get lucky and everyone else slaughters each other :) )
Beautiful board, and fantastic concept. I'm a big fan of the play of the game too, but until all 4 starting points are balanced (elf definitely has advantage), I'm putting this board on the back burner.
