4.0 out of 5 stars A bit flimsy, but very glad of purchase, May 15, 2009

By	Eric Folsom (Nicholasville, KY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'd rate t a 4.5 if I could. This thing is huge, has a front and back (one side gray (stone), the other brown (dirt)). Making maps has never been so easy. I used to use a dry erase board and had to make the 1" squares, now I just have to make the map. Thankfully, because of the 2 sides I can have 2 maps prepared before a game.

The reason for the 1 less star is that it's not as "hard" as I thought it would be. It does fold up which is nice for packing, but when you unfold it, it doesn't stay completely flat easily. Luckily, you just have to put a couple books on the edges and it stays flat enough so the figures don't fall.
I use it for D&D and now I can't go back to my old dry erase board (oh, it's easy to clean off too). I'm certain that I'll end up buying one or two more boards from this seller (they have caves, boats, and keep maps already made).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great mat, careful though, June 30, 2009

By	J. Morgan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This thing is great. The creases are a little heavy, but it's so much faster and easier to use than it's vinyl topped counter parts.

It's big, but I wish I could get a bigger one. It's not that big of an issue though since wiping the mat clean is a simple matter of using a dry towel. One swipe takes off all the markers, it's awesome.

Careful around it though. One of my players spilled his drink at the table and now the corner is all bubbled. It still works, it's just kind deformed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grat buy, June 27, 2009

By	D. Cape - See all my reviews

The mat is great for roleplaying. It saves on having to buy seperate tiles that will hopefully fit the part of the dungeon. With this, you can make your own sized rooms and everything else, even the items in the room, if you're a good enough artist (I'm not). Overall, while it is easily folding for transport, it is a little hard to keep infolded without the use of weights somewhere on the board, but it is well worth the buy.
