This is a large four player map. It is designed for multiplayer use. There are a LOT of resources and if you run out of wood you've probably done something stupid. Be warned - this map really is somewhat of a maze and there are a lot of "hidden" dangers waiting for your unwary villagers - god bless their unhappy soles. hehe.
This is good for those fairly new to multiplayer. I enjoyed it when I played it in 1997, and it created an enthusiastic stir when completed. The map is relatively simple with a couple of little surprises. There's also a little twist incorperated that, depending on how its played, could add considerably to the fun. It was this twist that that caused the fervor.

Map: maze-style jungle littered with resources; central lake with island containing lots of resources
Playability: 3
Quite fun with the jungle maze idea, but the pathways are quite easy to navigate. Maybe some more dead-ends, with better placement of the lions.
Balance: 3
As above, the lions and pathways are the weak points here. Nothing major but it would be more of a challenge with more deadends and longer routes.

Maze...an amazing idea! But it has not been implemented in the best way (see above).
Map Design: 3
A larger map may help create better routes, but no major flaws.

Additional Comments:
More of a good idea than a good map. Worth taking a look from a design point of view, but really needs an update to make it worth playing.
