Can't believe I've never rated this board. Might be my favorite board. It's wonderfully balanced for medium fog specifically but also works great for light, heavy and total. I disagree with characterizing gameplay as "neutral bashing" as that misses the point. You're not bashing neutrals, you're biding your time before revealing your strategy to your opponents. This board rewards careful, strategic, intentional play.
The graphics are superb and the color palette is clearly well thought out. Borders are clear, continents and bonuses are balanced. This board has no weaknesses.

Great board. Must remember that every territory is not bonus related.

This was a nice change of pace. You'll have to employ a different strategy concerning territory because of the bonus rules, but it's a fun board.

Enjoyed this board, especially with the fresh idea of basically starting on the borders of the map and pushing inward to gain the continent bonuses.

Entertaining and interesting game, fog makes you always guess and think. Very well-balanced territory bonuses.

I really like this board. I wish the cards grew more slowly, because the dynamics of (mostly) starting outside of continents and having to conquer inwards are fun to play with.

I think that the best feature of this map is the predetermined starting territories. This makes for great 2-player games, since you know exactly where your opponent begins the game. I prefer to use total fog on this map, so that you can spread in secret, but medium or heavy fog are decent as well.
