Liked the variation in territories and the bonus style. Graphics look good. Fog works well. My complaint is with the unit caps, maybe it was just me being lazy, but i couldn't quite figure them out and it cost me several times. Fun board though, i plan to play again to get a better handle on the mechanics!
This board's pretty good. Had a long stalemate on the game I played. I like the look. For a Maze map, it has quite good graphics. Although it is kind of cluttered with the texts on the sides. Fair board.
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.
This is an average board as far a gameplay. nice and simple. No tricks. Based off a real Risk game (which is nice). Anyone can play here and have fun. The graphics are what raise this board for me. Not just 1 star above average, but 2! It looks awesome!
This board is a 6.5 in my opinion -- just above average. It's simple and easy to play (which i like to see). The pastel color-scheme is not really that appealing to me, but it does separate this board and make it unique. I like the rap-around countries, well done with that! Over all it's a solid board.
I'm honestly kind of surprised that this board has such good reviews. First off, i realize that this is Ender's only board, so i don't mean to say that it should be a perfect board your first time, i appreciate you contributing this the community and making a board.
Any way, the graphics are my biggest problem here. It's basically circles (well ovals) and lines on colored splotches. The theme is accomplished just by placing a star background. Gameplay is fine. Nothing special but not bad. Board's not terrible, but in comparison with the majority i'll have to give it a 3.
Only played one game, but found it rather uninteresting. As much as i love Ozyman and many of his boards, this one wasn't my favorite. The theme is not that interesting to me and the graphics are nothing special. The play was fine, but i felt like i was taken out of te race within the first couple turns.
I really like the graphics on this one, well done. Gameplay is interesting for sure, i had fun with it. Can someone tell me what's going on with the board name though?
*Due to the good reviews below, i am going to continue a few more games on this board to see if i'll like it.
Only one game, and didn't enjoy it at all. Game was decided within the first 3 turns, then the next 15 or so turns were just getting finished off and then waiting for him to knock out the flags. The graphics aren't good at all in my opinion. It screams "don't play me."
Well done, fun board -- especially for beginners. Classic feel, clear bonuses. Love the overlay bonuses (although their graphic isn't my favorite). The circles don't look all that great either, but no big deal.
Only one game played, but i quite enjoyed it. Looks super appealing, but you sure do have to pay attention... it stinks to get 50 units trapped behind a one-way boarder that you didn't look at closely enough! Fun stuff though!
Board sure looks nice. It's simple too. plays well. Short fun games, but nothing special. My problem is the same as BTF's. My enemy was Navy and i couldn't see boarders.
not a huge fan of this one, i don't really like the circular look. But the graphics are great and the gameplay is nice and simple. Solid, average board.
such a sweet game! pure strategy. i really enjoy both versions. nice usage of low attacks and factory capture! Every move counts so take them carefully
Love this board! it's such a simple concept that creates an entire new game. I love it when you can quickly read a board description and fully understand the board. Then it takes quite a bit of thought to plan out how you'll play the board. Lots of fun, props for the alternate image too!
According to the gameplay of this board i'd say it's on the better side of average. But the graphics lower my rating some. The flag in the background is not very pleasing to the eye and the cards don't look very good ether. But it's a fair board for sure!
This board looks quite nice! My biggest problem with it is the dominance of +1 bonuses. the continent bonuses seemed not to be very important because of the large amount of islands and ports.
