Todd, before you conduct a lot of playtesting, I strongly encourage you to
post images of the game map and any particular rule variations to this list
(or on post it boardgamegeek and refer the Yahoo group to it). The members
here could very likely give input based solely on inspection that would
refine the design and aid smooth playtesting.

You can of course ignore the input, but considering that it is probable that
a majority of your future customers are on this list, I'm sure they would
like the chance to learn more about the game and have input into its design.
