Fun board especially with teams and or fog. Due to layout of board different strategies work more effectively in certain areas vs other ones, so it is helpful to have a clear picture in your mind as to the layout.
I find this game to be extremely interesting and fun because of the availability of so many different strategies that can be successful. It is very fair as starting positions don't control the outcome however in games of 8 or more if you get a couple of bad rolls in the beginning you can be eliminated quickly. The variations in the dice values and movement on the board also add a lot of spice to the game.
It becomes more intriguing as you play it more and learn the subtleties of the game. Terrific game.
