Quick answer

If you prioritize component protection, start with the coin capsules; if you want a smoother gameplay surface, choose the playmat first.

Protection vs. Play Experience

The coin capsules are designed to shield your Airship tokens from dings and dents, making them ideal for players who handle components frequently or store their game in a shared space. The playmat, on the other hand, enhances the tactile feel of your sessions with a cushioned neoprene surface that also protects cards from table wear.

Both upgrades serve different primary functions, so your choice depends on whether you value token longevity or a more comfortable playing area.

Size and Storage Considerations

The playmat measures 45.7 x 38.1 cm (18 x 15 in) and does not fit inside the Fractured Sky box, so you will need extra storage space. The coin capsules add minimal bulk and can be stored alongside your tokens without requiring additional room.

If you have limited shelf space or travel with your game, the coin capsules are the more portable upgrade.
