In this game, there are very few resource spaces and they are often included in the defensive territory meaning that there is no cost effective way to respond to a player 1 turtle except to hope that they make egregious mistakes.

During beta, we tested the game with 3 wit gain and two additional wit spaces per map scattered towards the fronts. The game pretty much became a Runnerfest which wasn't really helpful either. I do think that 4 would be a good deal though and would grant us further options to limit FTA a little (e.g. by P2 having one of these 2 or 3 wit spaces pre-owned so that they save themselves 1 wit to step on it and they got 5 wit on their first turn).

I just hope OML does consider that...
