After Roadway Rumble first saw use, I started looking at the last of the Playmat sets. I saw that like the others they had four different facings. I managed to map out a 3x4 grid that was mostly water, as I'd been wanting to revisit that environment since the Bunker Battle back in 2015. We had discovered in that game that an Environmental factor had to take up the majority of the playing surface otherwise it was easily avoidable and doesn't have much effect. As these are being phased out and marked down, I grabbed six to implement a table-setting at some point in the future.
Box. MSRP is $7.99 for a $0.73 Price per Piece. Markdown PpP is $0.58.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away? No. (-5)Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? Above. (-10) (The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away? Yes. (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? No. (-5)
Score: -15 (C). It basically fails the normal review questions. But that's not the reason to buy these. One thing I will say about these is that they are half the price of regular Baseplates.
