How to use
Place the Ultra‑Pro playmat on a flat, dry tabletop with the printed surface facing up. Unroll fully and allow the mat to settle before arranging cards or play zones.

After play, roll the mat with the printed side out if storage space requires compacting, and keep it away from sharp objects and extreme heat.
Usage recommendations
To extend the lifespan of the playmat, avoid machine washing and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. For routine cleaning, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Store rolled, not folded, and keep away from liquids and abrasive surfaces to preserve the printed artwork and fabric texture.
