Pretty interesting gameplay, this is a unique design and a fun board to play. There are several strategies to win, and even when you think you have a strong position, you could be undermined by a daring or well-executed attack.
Having played and watched the histories of 3-game contests, I would advise to stay away from these, as the layout is not balanced for the 3 players (2 players end up on same corner). Best to stick with 6-player games on this board
This board is definitely a classic. The graphics are clean, the games are never boring, and it's mechanically interesting. It does reward aggressive game play; in fact, I strongly suspect that this board only has a couple of optimum ways of playing it, despite the seeming variety of modifiers and borders.
