Average board that doesn't seem to hold my interest. Will readdress after playing it more.

Simple and very easy! Not really a challenge, but good for beginners.

Great graphics, and I like the bonus structure. I'm confident it's just the low unit count, but I always feel like I can't make any attacks, but the numbers are working out right so I know it's just my own bias. Great board, and great strategy board.
Edit: After playing 3 tournaments, I'm changing my review again. Luck plays WAY too much into this game. I think upping the minimum armies, or altering the dice odds would be a better option, because as Beastly can attest (from the most recent tourney game) you can be in the perfect position and have played the best strategy from the start, and 1 bad turn ends your game. Feels like there's something wrong with the board if that is the case.

Not a huge fan of 2 unit min bonuses with low unit counts on maps like this. Mix that with strong neutrals and go 0-2 once and you lose.

Excellent board. Not what I expected. Strategy is a must and luck is ALWAYS helpful. Not crazy about the Hordes option though.

Fun and simple with nice choke points and a lot of fortification options.

I think the bonus is a bit high for the outside group of 5. Also might be nice to treat the strength of rolls similar to how the monopoly game works here. Maybe set up the 2 spots as capital cities and start troops there with no bonus until you get a full row.

Love this board, a good mix of luck, risk strategy and backgammon knowledge all melded into one. Nice job Beastlymaster.
