This one is 85x85 cm: 6 cm narrower and 9 cm shorter than the licensed mat, on the same 2 mm natural rubber. On a dining table that also has to hold faction sheets, strategy cards and everyone's fleets, those centimeters go back to the players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListings for Twilight Imperium mats usually give only the outer size, but the number that tells you how the tiles will sit is the hex size. Here the grid is printed at 10.4 cm per hex, while Fourth Edition system tiles measure about 100 mm (4 in) across the flats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this an official Twilight Imperium product?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo - it's an unofficial mat, compatible with Twilight Imperium 4th Edition but not produced or licensed by Fantasy Flight Games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes the mat fit the 7-8 player galaxy from Prophecy of Kings?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 85 × 85 cm mat comfortably fits a three-ring galaxy, which covers 3–6 player games (37 tiles, approx. 70 × 64 cm). At 7–8 players with the Prophecy of Kings expansion, the galaxy grows to four rings and measures roughly 90 cm at its widest point, so the outermost systems will extend beyond the mat. The game is still playable, since the tiles lie flat on the table as well, but a full eight-player galaxy won't fit entirely on the mat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow big are the printed hexes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach hex is printed at 10.4 cm.
