With few players the bonuses are a little high; otherwise good.

seems all around average to me. It's a fun, solid board. Nice graphics, clear bonuses, etc. I played with fog only once, so maybe a few more games will improve my view. Nonetheless, this is a good beginners boards. Simple and straightforward.

I'll admit, I didn't like this board until I played it with fog, 3-players. Now I love it. Nicely interlaced continents, one-way borders with disadvantage, and just barely enough room for three competitors, so games are quick. Use it that way, and it's near-perfect.
Without fog, I agree with the poor reviews--bonuses are big, and easily broken, frustrating and not 100% worth your time.
With fog, the real fun is in figuring out where your opponents are and how far along they've got in racking up bonuses. Figure correctly and you get to ransack the whole countryside in one turn--figure incorrectly, and you're pretty well done for.
I'd say more, but then you'd know how to beat me, and that can't be permitted.

Bonuses are too big for such a small map, not a good souvenir in UK...

Too fast. Too many connections that make no sense and add little to the game. The one-way connections are especially poor. It's a good attempt at something fun, but it doesn't work out that way.

My thought at the start was, "meh." Then the game played out really well! I really like this board now.

The special connections are wonky, take away form the intuiton but don't add anything, the board is too big and overly connected, and I just didn't enjoy myself while playing it. I'm with other reviewers- this is a prime example of fortify within connected being abused. And I am no fan of fog. I held off on reviews of boards I didn't like but I'm trying to review all the boards I've played so far, so...
