First off I like the look of the board. Easy to understand, easy on the eyes, and the bonuses are well-distributed.
This board has grown on me after a few plays. All the games I've played on the board have 5 armies for every planet you have, which I like. The bonuses and cards don't do a whole lot for you, so using all the 5's you have right off the bat can make or break the game for you, or you can hang back and hope your defense does the work for you.
Solid board with amazing graphics! The glow/sphere effect looks amazing and really shows off the perks of dual layers for board designs.
Gameplay is the basic command and conquer, so this is definitely a solid map for beginners!
Graphics are well done, game play is standard. It's not a particularly Risky board in the RiskyBack tradition, but it's definitely Risky in the Risk tradition.
This is a great territory/bonus map not unlike the original risk map. The graphics are good and the map is easy follow. Great map, especially when played with light fog.
