Fast and fun board. Great use of factories and capitals. For a board that everyone predicted would be too hard to build (because of how vertical it was), this one ended up being a good board. End game can come very quick.

Simple and fun board. Straight forward with good ebb and flow. It's Baby Antastic.

The addition of resources really puts this one over the original. Big fan.

Amazing graphics, amazing fill, great strategy, and enjoy that it's always a 3 way battle. Suggestion: maybe adjust the bonuses up a bit just so there is more ebb and flow of attacks. Make it swing just a little bit more so there's not as much of a chance for stagnation.

Too many starting armies in each country. But graphics are good. And if you can keep things relatively even for the first 2 rounds, you can have good games on it.

See SlimShelly's response for my same thoughts. Played without fog and found it interesting too. No real choke points, so have to be strong.

Need some more game to evaluate, but I love the strategy of how to disperse your attacks.

I love the 1 sided dice version, but I'm learning to love the 8-sided dice version. I disagree with Amidon, as I think once you learn how the dice can really affect the game (breaking through an opponent's barrier), it makes for very different gameplay.

Having to split armies to get bonuses is great. And I love the cards.

Beautiful board, and unique gameplay. I know you think this will be like any other Risk-Clone, but you're wrong.

Who doesn't love Star Wars. I'd love to see more Star Wars boards. Well designed, and good interlocking continents.

Good graphics (like all of Krock's boards) and good map edge wrap. Strategic and makes for good play. I'm a fan!

Great graphics, and I like the bonus structure. I'm confident it's just the low unit count, but I always feel like I can't make any attacks, but the numbers are working out right so I know it's just my own bias. Great board, and great strategy board.
Edit: After playing 3 tournaments, I'm changing my review again. Luck plays WAY too much into this game. I think upping the minimum armies, or altering the dice odds would be a better option, because as Beastly can attest (from the most recent tourney game) you can be in the perfect position and have played the best strategy from the start, and 1 bad turn ends your game. Feels like there's something wrong with the board if that is the case.

Sure it's the board that we all know and love, but I feel like it needs some better graphics to compete with the other "normal Risk" boards on this site.

Great beginner board, with good graphics, and some unique twists (tunnels/castles). I like it a lot.

The minimum bonus needs to be bumped up, if you ask me, because it can play too slowly. If your opponent gets luck with start position and is getting more bonus than you, it's hard (borderline impossible) to catch up.
However, the concept I think is fantastic.

Without full fog, heavily weighted on first turn players, because they can all but eliminate the later players. I'm a fan of the middle space cut into opponent.

Strategy game at its best. Better than 5 or 7. Play a few rounds in private before you go step into the ring with the guys who start the public games, because they'll end up wiping the floor with you.
