Re: Interesting new playmat idea

The idea seems interesting, but I would like to see in action and not a video of "are you tired of...."

Re: Interesting new playmat idea

Well, I have a coupe problems with this.

1. My phone does all of this with the appropriate app.  What does this offer that my app doesn't?
2. Mats wear out after a couple years, usually, so what do you do with it then?  80 for a mat is excessive.
3. You have to charge your play mat now?  No thanks.


This seems like a gimmick and an attempt to sell one of those "as seen on TV" infomercial items.  The video even came with frustrated Pros that forget their pads and dice.

Re: Interesting new playmat idea

It would be nice if the playmat would have a LED life counter and other stuff. For now it looks the playmat is just a phone charger :s

Re: Interesting new playmat idea

Yeah the first video is kinda cheesy, but it seems like a good thing at least to me.... my phone won't make it through a whole day of playing (8+ hours) without charging.

If you watch the other videos it does show it in use.

Still, dice, pen and paper never run out of battery life. smile

For those who play full fields (e.g.,weenies, token generation) I can imagine cards covering up all the flashy features.
