So very true about the map movement. The random starting spaces can provide advantages or disadvantages, although that’s kind of the interesting part of the strategy! I had some very frustrating turns when I know a character was going to get knocked out by the minions… Yet I also experienced some great moments when I nearly won.

Hmm, you know what? I’m almost in the same boat as you regarding Martin Wallace. I don’t own a lot of his games, although none have really grabbed me. AuZtralia is a unique one that I want to explore some more because it’s been growing on me. Must get that back to the table soon!

Thanks for sharing! I was trying to think of how to raise the minions a little. This also reminds me that object tiles don’t really need to be highlighted, aside from the ancient crystals. And I think I have some nice stand-ins that can help with that. Great ideas! This should help solve a few of the minor issues I was having. Thank you again!

I also agree that all the tiles are hard to see and I have a few things I’ve done to help with that; the first is that I’ve put my minions into coin capsules. This helps raise them above the playing surface a little more and makes them easier to see. The second is that I replace the crystal tile (when revealed) with a large purple crystal instead. Although if I’m going for a crystal strategy, I’ll often want to pick them up right away, I like that it matches better with the base game.
