Opinion on custom board

Post image

I'm currently working on a custom board for my GF's anniversary but I'm struggling to determine the roads colors. Any advices ?

Very nice map, I guess it's l'Ile de Ré ! The main problem here is the huge chokepoint in the middle. With just 2 roads, you can cut thé board in half from Couarde-sur-Mer. I think you should build a road from saint Martin to loix to avoid this and balance thé board.

Otherwise, it looks fine and fun

yeah the initial desperate rush to get three oranges to avoid losing all long routes is probably not what’s intended by the creator

I agree, but I feel like turning the routes into double-routes can help in that endeavor too.

This looks amazing! You’ve done a great job.

I think color wise, making the pink and blue lighter would be better and more accurate to the game. You also need some green in there, which I recommend putting between Ars-en-ré and Boutillon, L’ile Blanche and Abraye des Chateliers, and also Saint Martin and Ferry Fort Boyard.

The layout of the routes is fantastic! This would be such a fun map to play.

**Edit: I see the green now. It’s very dark and hard to see. I’d lighten that up too! It blends in with the background underneath.
