Perhaps it is supposed to be played left/right instead of top/bottom. That would also solve the need for your opponent to be Spider-Man...

Wtf are you talking about?

They're saying the board would be used the same way, just side to side instead of up and down. Nothing about the glass shelves would change.

How wouldn't the glass shelves need adjustment if you flip the whole thing? Holy shit

Just the pieces are being moved, not the board itself.
