I agree with Litotes. The one tourney I played on this, the starting players won 19 of 28 games: http://www.wargear.net/tournaments/view/2701 Fun board, though
It took me a while to get used to an opposite world but I've learned to appreciate it. Although it is not a Civil War (Viper's crowning achievement) it is still great.
Good idea, somewhat lacking in execution. Gameplay on this board is very boring to me. The cities don't add much; the continents don't come into play; it's really your basic stash 'n' cash board. Graphical style is about average as well.
Solid board. Love the theme and it is well executed. For some reason the letters on the board are kind of a turnoff to me, it just doesn't look very good. But it's not a big deal. The board is big and fun, good for teams and large singles games.
