I like that this board shows more of the art work. If given a choice between the two however, I would prefer the original. I do believe the original is less aesthetically appealing but it is more functional because the large color sections inside the circles along with the texture patterns make the zones easily differentiated. This I feel makes the game more accessible. This is one reason why I think I have been able to teach this to my 9 and 10 year old daughters.Different zone shapes were mentioned but are not feasible. What about zone letters as numbers are already used for starting spaces?
My first choice would be to keep the boards the way they are and produce two different maps but if the plan is to move to single maps within a box then the idea of one side original one side open of the same map would be fine as well.
