    Reflecting back, I'm noticing that I've had an awful hard time winning games on maps I've designed, which seems strange as I know every nuance on the boards. Just wondering if other designers have had similar troubles and, if so, why they think that is?

    I'll just throw a couple explanations out there.

    Some of my boards hate me.

    But seriously, I wonder that a good designer is considering what is challenging to them.

    I'm dead last on most of my boards. -notably squirrels and balance.  -seriously, it's embarrasing.

     

    Honestly though, I think I designed those boards to play a certain way, and I want to play them that way:

    and the simple fact is, that's not the best way to play them.

    Darn decent of you to apologize though MB. {#emotions_dlg.blush}

    That has been one of the strangest disappointments as a map-maker for me.

    I spend hours and hours on a board, am super eager to play it and then get my ass kicked.

    Interesting thread wouldn't of thought about that.  If it makes you guys feel better three of you has a board where you're at the top of my concern list.  Escherdiles, WOTR, LOTGR...

    Fortune favors the bold, and chance favors the prepared mind...
