Using this Gamegenic Game Mat is a breeze. First, lay it out flat on your gaming table. Make sure there are no wrinkles or folds to ensure a smooth surface for placing your galaxy tiles. You can then start arranging the tiles according to the game rules for Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition. When you're done with your game, gently roll up the mat. Avoid folding it to prevent creases that might damage the detailed layout. To keep it clean, you can use a soft, damp cloth to wipe off any spills or dirt. Don't use harsh chemicals as they could fade the colors or damage the material. Store the mat in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality over time.
