I like the fact they made it round and not square. There always seemed to something intrinsically challenging about square gaming boards when I was a kid. If you got up and accidentally kicked a corner, you'd send things flying and everyone would get mad at you. Maybe, making it round gives it more of a community feel and helps reduce accidents. It's also easier to turn the board without the corner catching someone's big toe.
