Clear The Decks! Playmat actually brings a great benefit to the game firstly because it brings a great aesthetic to the game and more clearly defines the play area, but more practically allows you to set your cards out without them slipping. During the game you have several stacks of cards which are not always in use so having this playmat, in our opinion, is a highly advantageous.

Each mat is for single player use, mats are optional and not having one does not prevent gameplay. You do, however, need a copy of Clear The Decks Base Game to use these items.
