Awesome board, i am new, is there any reason why continental bonus men can be placed on any territory owned? Why not only on the continent receiving the bonus? Makes for some games to finish too early. (too much power to Australia) I am adapting well to this rule. Sometimes, I prefer it especially When i own Australia, ha) It would however, be nice to have the option.
Good board. The neutral nonplayer serves as a block or distraction that takes away from some gameplay (reserve use, path making). A very well made design.
An amazing quantity of options and lots of variety on this board. It's got everything you want and stuff you'd like that you didn't even know about. Looks great. This will be one I return too often!
