One side of the map is for games with three and four players; while the reverse side is for games with five and six players. A banner in the top left corner of the map indicates which is which.
The map has two important features: Key Areas and the Support Track.
Key Areas represent focal points of political power in Korvosa.
Each has a unique name and number of SQUARE or STAR SHAPED (5-6 player side) spaces where influence cubes will be placed.
The Support Track goes around the outer edge of the map and represents the overall support (points) you have gained over the course of the game.
