Great board that takes a few games to understand, and many more to master. It really captures the strategy of either climbing the hill or defending from the better position, and strategy definitely weighs heavier than luck. Best thing is that it is fun and relatively quick to boot. The only thing I don't like is the abandonment of territories - it's screwed me a couple of times, but I realize that it's on me and it adds another strategic option, just have to be careful.
Very interesting (and fun) board. There's a lot going on so it takes a couple of runs at it to get the hang of it. Tough to figure out when to gather strength and territories and when to strike for the win.
Simple fun. With tiny troop allotments, miniscule card values, and a very constrained map, the game can only take so long. Think if it as a concentrated strategy.
