The board design is fabulous, and the gemstones make for an interesting strategy for acquiring bonuses and launching unexpected attacks. I wish more players enjoyed it, it's hard to get a game started on it at this time. If you want to give it a try without risking your ranking, invite me to a private game with 4 or more players, and I'll be glad to fight for gem domination
A large, expand-and-conquer map. With the fog, there is not really a need to be cautious about the rate of your expansion, just swell as much as possible. The bonus structure is simple and original, and the special territories add some strategy. This is a simple board, good for large numbers of players and team games.
Very large map, so great with large teams. For some reason I just like this board, maybe it's the D coming back to me again or just the map, either way its pure awesomeness.
Best map going for large numbers of players. A lot of small touches built in (25 unit max, the orbs, the skulls, 40 units around the amulets) that add up to a great playing board.
