In reply to Dave Daffin. Thank you, Dave! I hope you have a chance to play soon. This one is so unique and fun, even though it may not look like it on the surface. Every completed map of mine has its own unique characteristics. This may have been the first time I ended up with a clear path to Greenland in the middle or along the northern edge. Too bad it didn't get used... Next time!

In reply to Steve Johansson (Daemonsson). I gladly take the blame, Steve! Very true about the bumped tiles. At one point this bothered me to no end, but somehow I've found a way to keep things organized. I usually use a pair of large tiles on opposite sides to straighten things occasionally. Still not glamorous, and I agree that a raised edge would be absolutely amazing! Thanks for the thoughtful and kind words!

Great review / report. I’m another gamer who bought this based on your experience. I’ve still to play the game. This kind of review provides me with the impetus to get the game out to play!

Brilliant game, and it’s entirely because of you that I bought it. Yes it was that quest for the full map on SGOYT that did it. It looked like a cracking game from your reports and I’m happy to confirm that it is, Doesn’t hit the table often enough but when it does every game is memorable. The only one of your ratings I would disagree with is the quality of components. I would rate that a 9 instead due to it being so easy to bump the tiles you have laid and have them move. The board really, really needs a raised edge to hold tiles against. Otherwise – spot on.
