Yep. This project is supposed to give you a Master Set in and of itself, and to have a Master Set you need to have terrain. The cardboard provides the foundation of full-sized maps. Which will also include scenarios, of course.

At the end of a round (turn? - always get those two mixed up - the end of the full 3 order markers) all figures on quicksand hexes roll one die to see if they are suffocating.

Just a thought...wording needs massaged.

As previously mentioned, this kind of thing is simply doing way too much. That's more rules than any other terrain, on top of the goal of AotV trying to stay relatively simple. Which would apply to any terrain rules we come up with as well.

(See also: 3D hexes =/= quicksand. Maybe we should change the thread title, @lefton4ya ?)
