Using this playmat is a breeze. Just lay it flat on your gaming surface before starting your Magic the Gathering game. It's perfect for creating an immersive gaming environment. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the print. Also, try not to fold it sharply as it could cause creases. Roll it up carefully when not in use and store it in the provided drawstring pouch to keep it safe and in good condition.
