On the Sixth Circle Facebook page, Lucifuge Dragon has posted a short update which tells of progress made on his board game implementation of Ultima 7:

I made a number of changes to the Black Gate over the weekend focusing mostly on game speed. To tackle this I’ve added mounts which boost movement and as well attack damage. A few other small changes to items and encounters that allow for quicker travel.

Oh, and maybe a certain…magic carpet..will be part of the game?

Since it sounds like the Guardian can progress toward entrance into Britannia fairly quickly (which is how the game ends in a loss, mind), adding modes of quick travel between key areas is probably a good move on Lucifuge’s part.
