Whimsical Waters avoids the "half your ministars" situations as best as it can, which seem to plague MP10.
I also like Haunted Trail for the same reason.
My favorite is definitely Airship Central though. The first part of the board is pretty good; it makes the game different every time by switching which ships you board, and the cannon shoot-down segment is pretty cool too. The storm cloud section, despite being annoying as heck, looks awesome, and the annoyance factor can be mitigated if you save up dice blocks, thankfully. Also, since that section is in the middle of the board, you can still recover.
