It's fun, but the advantage seem to be for the elf, and valkries really seem to struggle. has to do with distance to bonuses. Warrior and Wizard often have to cross paths for their fav bonuses, elf often gets an uncontested mid value bonus in the NE, and rolls on from there. There is a reason game creators are always the elf, and the last choice is the chick. Still the fog and varying strategies can be quite fun.

This board is very fun to play and the graphics are sharp. Very clean lines all around. The strategy is more heavily loaded in the first 5 moves which makes for a very quick map to play. Fog is a must-have for players like Thyra to have a fighting chance. Good work!
UPDATE: 01/15/11 - Risky I've played this board a bunch of times and still love it. Thyra is an unbalanced player and I can only win with her if all the other players don't know what they're doing. In order to balance her position (which might be more trouble than it's worth) I'd start playing with starting unit count and/or bonuses to try to even her chances.

One of the most interesting boards I have played! Very unique and well designed.

I really like this board, though blue does have a big disadvantage on starting position. This boards needs tweaked a little to give blue a little more even start.

I agree with other posters. Fantastic board, takes a little getting used to, then the strategies start to develop. And Gauntlet just f'n rocks so how can you not like it!

Love it! Great game, takes at least 4 or 5 games and a little thinking before you can even be considered better than horrible at it, for me anyway,but the more you ponder over the game, the more different strategies seem to appear, and ways to defend, just an all around great game, with a twist of a little guessing, a good plan and a bit of luck, keeps you coming back for more.

Definitely something special to it. I'm forever tainted with the board, as blue is my favorite color, but appreciate the thought-provoking discussions it spawned. Any map that gets the strategy flowing in a nonstandard way gets the gold seal from me.

The only way it could be better would be with randomly generated maps.

Great game. I don't know if it's quite even. Blue might be at a disadvantage. But I'm having fun even losing, so it's a great board.

Loved it and hated it, but if it had a slot, I'd shove a quarter in it!

Super fun. Looks good. There's something intangible that I can't quite put my finger on which keeps it from getting "perfect", but I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is. Definitely worth playing.

I love this board more than praying mantises and whales and puppies.
It plays much faster than it looks, it rewards aggressive strategy, and it's big enough where a bad roll or two *usually* won't ruin your game.

Not sure what it is, but I really like this map. The only bad starting position is the Blue player and looking over it I can't really figure out a way to improve it without wrecking everything else.

This board is a lot of fun, and quite different from the mix. My one dislike is perhaps how quickly a player can shoot ahead with the fog and bonus structure.. however that player is usually me, so...

Cool board with a cool theme. Nicely pulled off with the bonus structure and layout and staying within the Gauntlet theme. Good use of View Only borders and traveling from one map to the next.
Graphically, the overall image size is too big for my liking, but image the image is cool.
