not one for me...but then I probably haven't spent enough time trying to understand it...however, nothing tempted me to come back, so that probably accounts for my marking it so low.

great fun, but very often won by the player that risks all at the beginning, so too much depends upon luck for my liking.

I like this board a lot, though, as with many boards, a lot can depend upon the initial positions, which puts too much to luck. nonetheless, fun design and can produce some see-sawing games

terrific board - probably the best balanced fog game and it even works with no fog. demands all the skills from a risk player.

I agree entirely with Coop's review below...I also find the end game quite a bore, but there is no question that it takes a good strategist to win this one. A good test of all round risk skills - you'll need them all to be a force on this board.

liked this board a lot...may be because I won, or maybe because I am British. Found the borders required careful planning, so it seemed to be a good test of a risk player's strategy

nothing novel here, just a different board layout...

only played this once or twice...would like to play it again...struggle with fogged boards, but suspect this has potential.

I thought this was great fun...card scale is novel...need to play it more, but I suspect different tactics are required
