I really like both sides, and even more so I really like switching it up as often as possible and trying as many different combinations as possible. We try not to think about it unless the board looks too familiar then we'll switch it up. I don't think we've ever played with A and B mixed together but we've certainly tried out ever other combination possible. I hate to think that no one could ever get trapped in tiny room and I hate to think that it could always happen. Sometimes one person is really close and another is very far away (from the treasures) but I don't worry about it and you may be surprised to see that the closest person doesn't always win.
Universal Head... you're totally right, I know better and should have edited it better. I'll improve, just wait.
Mixing A and B boards might be bad for whoever has the A sides. They tend to be less cluttered with fewer weird pockets. I think some minmaxer on BGG counted the steps from door to treasure and declared that it averages fewer on the A boards.
I like the B sides, because I'm a Wiz-War hipster and they're the original boards. I was so happy when the MC expansion brought back the "Hallway of Death". Heave-Ho across ten spaces to kill a wizard standing on your home base (and win the game with two treasures) was a real thing. I have done it.
Maybe I can catch a cheap flight to Vancouver. I'd even bring my homemade old-school set, from the dark out-of-print days.
