Nice board, but be prepared to have a long sit. Game usually ends in a stalemate with 3 or 4 players, which is a cooler. Board should have a little more passages to connect the north and south. You're interested in long and slow strategie games, go ahead, it's perfect for it.
Solid board, but nothing particularly exciting about it. Graphically I have never been terribly drawn to playing this board, and the tendency towards stalemates in non-fog games is a turnoff. Fog games on this map can be interesting, but the lack of mobility means that luck of who you are positioned around plays a large role.
