Muddy Ground lays that churned earth on natural rubber sixty-one centimetres a side - the two-foot table that both Forbidden Psalm and Five Leagues from the Borderlands use. The double-sided version keeps green grass on its back for when the rain finally stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eKey features of the Muddy Ground 24\" x 24\" mat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"product-benefits\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChurned mud, grey puddles\u003c\/strong\u003e - brown mud worked into ridges and lumps covers most of the mat, darker where it is wettest, with blue-grey puddles lying in the hollows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoss, dry clay and a few stones\u003c\/strong\u003e - clumps of bright green moss and grass, pale patches of drier clay and a handful of pebbles break up the mud; the print stops at the ground itself - no roads, walls or trees - so the scenery is up to you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo feet square, two games\u003c\/strong\u003e - Forbidden Psalm's scenarios fit two feet by two, and the Five Leagues from the Borderlands rulebook says to use a table 2 x 2 feet - exactly what this mat covers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFair weather on the flip side\u003c\/strong\u003e - turn over the double-sided version once the weather clears and play on green grass; the single-sided version has anti-slip rubber below, so it stays where you laid it when the dice start rolling.

Muddy Ground is plain churned earth after rain - puddles, moss clumps and dry clay, nothing more - so it serves as a field, a village edge or ground two armies have already crossed.
