Beautiful board, fun and fairly simple bonus style and dynamics. Large bonus game where a solid start is critical. Tough to know when to break someone else's bonus and when to simply work on your own. Multiplication of bonuses makes for interesting play, and towers are nice too.
A fine board, simple and neat. Graphics could have taken better advantage of the doodle/notebook theme, but to each his own. Gameplay seemed mostly dominated by cards, so take advantage! Decent board all the way around.
Looks great, plays great! super unique board that makes you think out every move and placement. Have to decided when it's best to prevent someone's match or just work on your own.
Good board, attack direction is a little difficult to distinguish sometimes, which can make a big difference in the game. Graphics are fine. It makes for a great 3 player game though, lots of fun!
very neat design. I like the to play with teams to include more strategy when you can work together. Though there is little interaction between players, this board is a blast!
I really like the gameplay of this board, it's a lot of fun. Graphics are good enough for me, nothing flashy. I wish it was a little easier to pick up on the bonus structure. even after two long games, i don't feel really comfortable with the bonuses. It's a little complicated, but i would try it out for sure!
For me, the graphics of this board bump it up from 6 to 7 stars, it's just an aesthetically pleasing map. Not a big fan of the gameplay. It's a solid board board, but the mixture of fog and split continents made it difficult to establish a base and to get a handle on the map. Good map though, well designed.
Not sure why there's so much hype over this board. I mean, it's fine. Makes for good games, it's balanced, but it doesn't seem to be special. Graphics are pretty weak, but they're bearable. I like the airports, they add for sure. Nice, solid, average board. Probably won't be playing many more on it though.
Not a huge fan, but i've only played it once, so maybe i'll edit eventually. I like the mod of hordes that's been done, but a brick wall is not the most interesting theme. Graphics are so-so, i like the texture to the bricks. Gameplay was pretty good, i liked the speed of the game. Nothing too exciting though. Not a bad map by any mean, i just didn't see anything praiseworthy.
I love Ed's boards, but this one doesn't do it for me. Graphics are nothing special, gameplay seemed really drawn out and slow. Now perhaps if i was competing for victory, i'd be much more fun. But getting caught in a corner, simply surviving with one territory is not very fun. This one just isn't my cup of tea.
Not a fan of this one. I may need to play it more, so bare in mind i have a low game count here. I'm not impressed by the graphics at all -- not really an aesthetic map. Gameplay is a little lacking as well. My game wasn't that fun either. Glad to see some of you enjoy it though!
Not one of my favorite Yertle boards by any means, but it's good. Graphics are good -- i would think Yertle would do something more fancy for the Star Ports, but no biggie. This board take a little while to get started on due to large continents. It's fun though :)
this is a nice board. I don't mean average as "bad," I mean it's about average. Average play style, graphics, strategy. Looks good, simple play. It's a good alternate map to play risk on.
this is a good board, the games i've played have been rather quick. I would like to try it without fog to see how it plays. I'm not a huge fan of choosing starting locations, but it isn't used much, so i'm glad to see it here. The large unit counts are a great idea, changes strategy quite a bit. Looks nice, plays nice.
I'm gonna have to vote perfect on this board as well. it gets a little tricky keeping up with who's on your team with the large team numbers. but a large-team set up like this is unique. a great way to do teams, where they all contribute. Fun game, simple, great design, lovely graphics, cool theme, well executed.
Wonderful board. Perfect use of multiple scenarios that allow the same game with changes on size and layout. Simple play with hordes, easily visible attack routs. Board looks really nice too, simple and clean. I have a pet-peeve about cards being the same size, so that kinda bugged me. But this is a superb board, check it out!
