This is a great Board. It is well balanced, the games don't last forever, it looks nice, it's easy to understand, the choke points between sectors make the fog relevant/important. The diversity in island size, composition and bonus structure drives the game forward.
It needs a two player scenario that balances out the first player advantage, but otherwise this game is perfect!
Yertle is a master board designer. His boards are graphically superior and the ranges of subject matter he takes on is surprisingly diverse; this map with its dystopian theme is a perfect example. Zombie Island is a highly stylized board with an innovative way of determining borders and bonuses. Perhaps a bit too innovative as I sometimes have lapses when determining where borders are (and why), but that is no excuse to not give this board a perfect rating.
Very cool map. This reminds me of the old Utopia intellivision game...and that's a good thing. The limit on visibility and waypoints make for interesting strategies.
