I like this board but it actually plays too fast, and it is only for experienced players. I would like to see this with the everyone moves at once turn option, it would remove the quick kill that so often happens as it is possible to get large forces all the way across the map in one turn.
great board with lots of play options, which is highlighted by my disagreement on tactics with the Jimmid review. I always take the capital as early as possible in the play so that I can get a jump on the tec tree.
A fun map, but if you are in the middle of the board you are doomed. The elimination bonus combined with the high number of armies for turning in cards at the endgame can really throw the game off. My last turn in the game I was able to put over 150 armies on the board due to elimination/card bonuses, no one else stood a chance.
