Full fog is not my favorite, but this board uses it very well. FUN when you win, yet frustrating when you lose because the history is fogged(the screen...not the action)
This is the best board i have ever played. Unlimited ways to play...good with small or LARGE # of players....colors are not confusing.....cards are perfect in terms of theme. speaking of cards...I do not normally like +1 cards, but it works perfect here..B a L a N c E d....F a I r....E v E n
i've always thought a 4 limit on the subs would be better, but i'm still giving the board a perfect, because... what do i know i'm no imressario. (This board is)(BALANCED).....The colors are not confusing...
I played several games, all with 7 or 8 players. The balance was unbelievable, with good starting positions everywhere. The continent colors were clear, and the player colors were not too similar. The different card scale "can" keep the board fresh, but i would add an elimination bonus for the card scales that repeat at 20 or 30. Most of the games i played were the type that started over after 50, which i found........superb
perhaps the card scale could be raised to 25. I had one game stall out, but all of the players were equally matched(brain power, not geographic). An ever increasing card value could solve this, but i prefer the cycle. i had much fun playing this board
