Hi all - this is part 2 of my 'chopping' boards variant. I'll refer the reader to part 1, which explains the first step:http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/1003752/modular-boards-f...
This second part tries essentially to opposite of the first, i.e provide players with custom boards that are different for each all players. How much different is up to you to an extend, and the approach I've taken.
As you may have realised if you have tried to chop your 'boards 1' as explained in part 1, 2 of the quadrants actually feature some of the boards 2-3-4-5 on the reverse, namely tile 'A' and tile 'X' (see other topic for nomenclature, but essentially the left most 2).
What I thought could be interesting is to supplement my set of 'modular' boards with ad hoc pieces that may yield interesting boards...
The major issue is that tile 'A' features 3 river spots, and tile 'X' features 3 mines, so if you merely flip them over you'll end up significantly reducing the value of mines and the frequency of goods acquisition / player order change.
So to counter this I scavenged a few 3-size spots featuring both mine and river. There are 3 on board 7 (MRK, MRP and MRC), and there is also another MRC on board 8 that you will want to grab.
You will also want to grab the central size-1 Castle from board 6 and the central size-1 Mine from board 8.
With all of those bits you should be able to collate a set of tiles as pictured below (besides the other 4 sets of identical 6-size quadrants scavenged from the boards 1):
