You may enlarge it
- each pentagone of your leather football is an inaceesible area.
- each hexagone is divided into as many hexagone as you want.
You may produce a simily spheric map.

More simple : juste plug the north of the map with the south,
and you will have a cool toric univers. For multi player mode,
it would warant more balnaced initial position, since with the
present ice border, all position are not equivalent.

PS :
septagons = heptagon ?
ikosaeders = ikosaeder ?
