This is a bit of a puzzling product. For the cost, you'd expect it to be in line with the quality of other game mats of similar size from other games. Instead of being neoprene like the standard is or at least should be, it's instead slightly thicker than maybe a couple of pieces of paper. There are photos of what it looks like but it isn't exactly what I expected. I think other reviewers mentioned this as well but I didn't see it before buying. It also includes what I believe are the same tokens from the Barnes and Noble "exclusive" edition of the game. Which is super cool...if you play with the standard board. The tokens don't work as well on the thin mat since the spaces are larger. Overall I think some people may not mind the lower quality mat since it makes the play space bigger which in this game is nice to have. But the odd addition of tokens that don't fit the mat and the lower quality of the mat itself, I can't recommend this unless you want a larger play area and don't mind the price.
