This is a great board, and I believe my initial assessment of the board being unbalanced was mistaken. I like the way the bonuses and attacks work with Titans, Ships & Sea Serpents, and when you play with a large group it pays to focus on eliminations and trading cards, that can hold the key to victory even if you're not in the lead in the game
It's not as deep as "gods of the Titans", but, then again, I think this board came first. It's still quite playable, however, and can be quite a bit of quick fun. The default fog settings are absolutely necessary - don't bother playing this one without it. If you don't like choke holds, stay out of the capitals and you'll never see them. Of course, you'll also never get a bonus, so make sure I'm playing against you before you do that. ;-)
