I had high hopes the that recently released Europa Universalis: The Price of Power #boardgame would do well in the #BristolMapTest. But alas, no.

The map consists of white bordered “areas” that contain a number of named shield spaces that are called “provinces. The naming seems inconsistent. Some “provinces” are indeed such while others are named after some large town or city.

The not real title of Wessex is used as a catch-all for the West Country. They could have used that title instead 😜

Just got Banish the Snakes #boardgame by #GMTGames. Nice bit of map art. Rather interested to see the name “Bristol Channel” on the small Britain map. The channel is named after the city, and the city did not yet exist. It did not get the current name until much later after the locals munged the Saxon name with their wonky local accent. Roight me babber!

The #BristolMapTest started on Tw1tter and I ain’t on that anymore. So I’m thinking I need to resurrect it here or on #BGG. #boardgames
