Title: Dominion trash mat
Post by: arishipshape on January 20, 2019, 10:42:54 am
Hey guys. I lost my dominion trash mat a while back and can't seem to find anywhere to buy them. Does anyone know where I can buy or trade for a dominion trash mat? And before you say anything, I do have the base cards set that comes with a trash card, but the card is far to small for necromancer games, much less dark ages games.

P.S. Im also missing an artisan and a border guard. Anyway I can get those?

I don't know how to get trash mats. I will say: if anyone ever made a trash tray, with a lip around the edge, I'd be quite tempted to invest.

Meanwhile, we only have the trash card, not the mat. It's possible to make do: remember cards don't need to sit entirely on it, provided they're associated with it clearly enough that you can tell the difference between the Trash and the Supply. For example, with Graverobber, we put the cards costing $3-$6 overlapping the left third of the Trash card and other cards overlapping the right third, leaving most of the word "Trash" visible.

I usually use a Pirate Ship mat turned upside-down.

When I don't feel like getting out the trash mat, I go into the base cards, and put the card on top of the box. Then I can have around the same dimensions

Why do you even need a trash mat?

Mostly for noobs to explain the concept of the trash. Plus awesome art.

the art on the trash card is better than the mat in my opinion

Yeah, something like this (https://boardgamegeekstore.com/products/chip-theory-games-control-ur-roll-dice-tray-too-many-bones-undertow) but Dominion-themed would be quite nice.
