Not sure why there are a lot of reviews saying "unclear borders". I've played this map several times and I'm currently playing on it in a tournament with no problems whatsoever. I think it's a great variation on the grandfather of the site.
I think the board has great potential, but the borders need better delineation. If you make a few tweaks to colors so that country and continent borders are easier to read, I think it'll become a legend.
Very unclear border between teritories, smeared appearance, very fuzzy. On the other side, maps with more theritories are a must if you want more people to play, so that this one fills the void.
Great! Better for online play and more balanced than original RISK board. I would recommend a few tweaks tho:
As far as game play, I think European regions might offer to many reinforcements.
Australia and Canada have to many territories - Doesn't make sense in real world since China is only 1 on this map. Very Western centric (and I'm a Caucasian American!).
not the best for free-for-all, but better with fog and team play, central nation reinforcement values should be altered to reflect difficulty in holding and maintaining contiguity with threats on multiple sides, especially with many players.
Fantastic large world board. continents and countries are clear and balanced. Graphics are clean. Classic feel. Good for variations as well -- fog or no fog, teams or individual. Fun stuff, superb board!
