I recently upgraded my old copy of Antiquity with the upgrade pack and found myself with a bunch of red, yellow, blue, and black cubes.I got the red and yellow cubes and added them to Pandemic Rising Tide and use them to help with the "Water Flows" step during a player's turn. I put a yellow cube where there are 2 water cubes, and a red cube where there are 3 water cubes. As we do the "Water Flows" step, we remove the red cubes then the yellow cubes as we're done doing it for each region. It takes about 5 seconds to drop them back into place, ready for the next turn.
Really helpful also, to help see at a glance where the problems are that need to be addressed.
