Excellent board. Only complaint is that not all of the House / Capital assignments are correct. ex: House Baratheon starts out in the Vale instead of the Stormlands, House Arryn starts out in the Riverlands instead of the Vale, House Tully starts out in Dorne instead of the Riverlands, House Martell starts out in Pentos instead of Dorne...
Fun little board, but games tend to be a little one sided. One person gets a dramatically better starting position than the rest and landslides from there. Have yet to see a balanced game.
Worst game I saw was one where I won in my very first turn. Others all took a capital, I was going last. I knocked out one guy who left only 5 defending his capital, then used the +5 elimination bonus to kill the next guy, and so on.
O.K. Map, but all of the low value, easy to secure continents are close together in the north-west, making the game pretty easy to decide early on. I would like to see another 1-2 easy to secure, 1-3 value continents on the far east or south sides of the map.
