At least I cannot figure out how to recreate the tower top.- Each set contains a single crenellated corner piece. So if I want to create a square tower top, I need FOUR sets. Very clever.- While I can get behind the idea of the 'closed cupboard'/'open cupboard' tiles, there are several tiles that show identical stuff on both sides, e.g. ladders and tables. What's the point of having two-sided tiles if both sides show the same thing? Simply swapping the images would have allowed me to put down four tables or four ladders at the same time.- Every set comes with four entry entry doors to connect a round tower with straight corridors. Two pieces are mirrors of the other two. Why isn't there some variety considering I need to buy two sets anyway? Especially, since these are open on one side.I also, initially, thought they didn't fit, before I noticed they're supposed to partially cover the round tower border to hide the version with outer walls. Not a very elegant solution.In summary, this is not one of the better sets. While it does what it's supposed to do, i.e. allow you to put down round towers (with two different diameters) it offers none of the variations possible with other sets.I really don't see any advantage over using a simple poster map showing a tower floor.</blockquote>
