Hi. I've never ran a game, but I do play. I don't have any idea how I would go about using the map if I were to run a game. When I play, other sighted players generally place my miniature on the board, and describe the layout and where the others are in relationship to me. It's not perfection, but it works. So if it allows me to play, that's how I'll do it. Smile.
