Boards with limited/no fortifications and factories on all territories tends to lead to very long games. This one is no exception. Fun idea but hard to make it into interesting games. At least for me. If you like long games give it a try.
I didn't like the game play on this board, but I need to play it more to get the hang of it. As with most boards, you don't want to start accumulating hordes in the center, as you will be squeezed out by the other players. It is a unique and beautiful board, I may revise my review after playing some more games on it
