> Continuous Track Boards
Continuous boards are those that you can play directly from start to finish without having to compete multiple laps. This can be an advantage when losing track of the number of laps will spoil a great game - especially during tournament play and for those of us with less than stellar memories.
The drawback is it usually takes a larger board to fit in all the holes, but this is a minor inconvenience compared to mispegging and other game-destroying moves on a non-continuous layout.
