While I don't have a picture, I can say that visibility was a major issue for our team. Some of our defense selection was based just on visibility. The main problem is the category C defenses, especially the drawbridge. The portcullis wasn't too bad because it is partially transparent. What surprised me was that more teams weren't using their human player as a spy to help navigate while in the opponent's courtyard. Hand signals were really helpful. And a camera is basically a necessity for this game.
