This board is really fun. The concept is a little weird though that you get a defense modifier for being at the other end of a bridge, but not for being inside a castle.
I really like this board. I have played it twice and there are a good amount of strategies. Should I go for the medals right away for some early bonuses of start to power through one of the sets of rings. Should I turn in, take the torch and attack some rings, or just keep my stars and position heavily fortified? There is a lot to keep into consideration in this map and giving yourself a strong position early on is pretty crucial. I would say this map is best with 5 players.
Love it, only thing I would change would be for there to be 4 turn ins before the set repeats (3,6,9,12,3...). That way there could be 2 turn ins a piece before it goes back to 3.
