What happened to this board? The redesign looks pixelated, drab and low contrast. The old design was fine, why change it?
UPDATE:
I just learned that the old version is still accessible, but that this version was made to give the map fill territories. I prefer the old version, but now the fill crowd can be happy too.
The game ends up becoming who ever gets a card turn to knock someone out then a cascade effect if they keep getting cards. I have seen teams go from 30 troops to winning in two turns.
yet another fun board when you have a big group especially with fog. would like to see the cards not play as big a factor though and would be nice if their was a version like colossul crusade w/ a limit of 5 for card trades.
cards got pretty insane pretty fast (in a bad way). 0 elimination bonus is dumb. you get 60 units for taking 1 country per turn and 0 for actually killing someone.
A fun map, but if you are in the middle of the board you are doomed. The elimination bonus combined with the high number of armies for turning in cards at the endgame can really throw the game off. My last turn in the game I was able to put over 150 armies on the board due to elimination/card bonuses, no one else stood a chance.
