It's the final, slightly revised version of the pastel board posted in the images section. It's in pure vector format, so you can print it in any size you wish without quality loss.
Unlike many others, I don't mind the original board. That said, it is understandable that others find it off-putting. This is a commendable effort that makes an excellent game palatable to more players. For that alone, I'll tip you some geekgold for the effort!
could your inkjet do full bleed or did you scale to fit the print area. If I use 4 8.5x11 sheets will shrinking to fit margins mess up the playing space? Also, I have never used foam core before. What sort of glue do you suggest to get us a smooth surface?
Again, this is very nice and makes me more excited to play this games.

ps. did you create this vector friendly PDF with illustrator? did you print from this file or break into piece before printing? Sorry for all the questions!
Welcome to the finals of the 43rd Stare Out Tournament. Press Esc to start.
You see, it's just a prototype, I haven't put much thought in anything when I made the board, I used whatever I had on my hand at the time, so I'm afraid I can't give precise instructions.
The file is in pure vector format, that gives a lot of freedom when you decide the size. I tried to stick with the size of the original, and let the printer diver to distribute the content on the pages, and then I trimmed it to size after mounting. The glue I've used is a generic spray adhesive, I understand 3M's Super 77 is a widely popular glue over there for this purpose.
