This board is nice because it's the classic risk board. Great for beginners, but maybe not the board for you if you're experienced and want some excitement.
Yep; it's the standard. But standard means standard. We certainly can't say this board takes full advantage of all the features WarGear has to offer. Not that the criteria for perfection is to use every WG feature, but let's face it - you don't need to log on to play this particular board. The graphics are clean if not a bit austere which, again, is fine for a â "standard" board. The graphics adequately match the feel of the site. Though I don't think I'll have too many qualms playing quite a few games on this board, there's no doubt in my mind that something better will come along that will bring with it a more pleasant aesthetic for me in the standard category. Yet, I predict that even that board will command no more than an 8 for its lack of optimizing what WG offers.
Edit: Downgrading to Average.. The player color grey is almost indistinguishable from the neutral color grey.
