Hello!
I have just learned this game in real life using the newest version (upgraded components and terrain pack), but haven't played the game more than a few times. I found out that Castles of Burgundy was on this site and noticed the option to have random boards but not use board 8. I have tried to look up online why that specific board is unbalanced, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer since I guess that board is different in different versions of this game.
Anyway, can somebody please tell me why that board is so bad? And, is it the one I see online with the top of the board having four pastures in one line? Thank you for any responses!
