    + The following maps are currently available and randomly yet + extremely fairly (you wouldn't believe the effort that went + into this) chosen uniformly at random among the following: +

    + + + + + + + +
    Road length│Stones
    ──────────┼──────
    6│15
    6│30
    14│30
    14│50
    +

    + You can also override them via game + settings roadLength and initialStones, so + long as you remember forget you won't be choosing them for + ranking play. +

    +

    + This draft's last change is: + + game parameters can be overridden. + +
