Quick Answer
Set up your Vestige Neoprene Player Mat Module by placing it next to your dashboard, arranging your cards and tokens in the designated zones, and using the non-slip surface to keep everything stable throughout the game.
Why a Neoprene Mat Improves Your Game
A neoprene mat does more than look good. It provides a soft, non-slip surface that keeps your cards from sliding and your tokens from rolling away. This is especially helpful during intense sessions where the table gets bumped or players reach across.
The Vestige mat is designed to sit alongside your dashboard, with graphics that flow into each other. This creates a seamless extension that feels like part of the game, not an afterthought.
What to Keep on the Mat
The mat gives each player a dedicated space for their tableau. Use it to organize contacts, chop bots, augmentations, bounties, and even those sneaky subversions the game world might throw at you.
By keeping all your active cards and tokens on the mat, you reduce clutter and make it easier to see your current strategy at a glance.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Place the Mat: Unroll the mat and lay it flat next to your dashboard, aligning it so the graphics flow into each other. Make sure the surface is clean and dry. A common mistake is placing the mat at an angle; check that it's parallel to the dashboard for a seamless look.
- Organize Your Tableau: Sort your cards and tokens into logical groups—contacts, chop bots, augmentations, bounties, and subversions—and place them in distinct zones on the mat. Avoid stacking cards haphazardly; use the mat's layout to create clear sections for each card type.
- Keep Essential Tokens Handy: Place frequently used tokens, such as credits or damage markers, within easy reach on the mat's edge. If tokens are scattered across the table, you'll waste time searching; keep them centralized on the mat.
- Adjust During Play: As your strategy evolves, rearrange cards on the mat to reflect your current priorities. The non-slip surface keeps everything in place even when you move pieces quickly. Periodically re-check that cards haven't drifted off the mat, especially after big plays.
- Store and Clean: After the game, roll the mat up and store it flat or in a tube. Wipe it with a damp cloth if needed, and let it dry completely before storing. Never fold the mat; creases can damage the neoprene and ruin the smooth surface.
