Hi,

My name is Ray Li, and I am a 16-year-old high school student. For a
class in Critical Thinking, we are required to complete a semester-
long, independent-study project. For my project, I chose to finish and
market a board game which I have been working on for a while. The game
is called Lineage. It is a two-player, abstract strategy game.

My website is www.lineageboards.com. I would appreciate if you could
visit it and give me some feedback on what you think of the game and
the site.

If you are being marked on the web site you should receive zero marks. Make
sure it degrades appropriately such that it can be seen with any correctly
working browser. It doesn't.

In the front page, there is no text, just images and some kind of embedded object. This will make it difficult for some people, and impossible for search engines, to read the page.

It is not easy to find the rules, which is surely what will interest most first-time visitors. The link to "official tournament rules" goes to a forum.

It would help to have one good big clear image of the board. The page
http://www.lineageboards.com/details.html has lots of smallish ones, overlaid on a large grey one which makes them harder to understand.

As Bernard has already said - don't say "should be removed" when you mean "must be removed". It leaves readers wondering whether the removal is compulsory.
