Or so I hope.
Sitting in the pile of rubbish to be removed from our new office was a green carpet tile: short tough pile in a sort of varigated green. It looked vaguely suitable for cutting into hills or something, so I pulled it out of the heap, and measured it: 18" by 20", or thereabouts. A odd sort of size, and not big enough to add to my 24" by 24" collection. But 18" by18", four times, would give me a 36" by 36" playing area, for 60mm frontage... were there any more, I wondered? A nice friendly colleague who'd been building the heap of Things To Be Disposed Of went to look. Yes - three more. All slightly different sizes, but the minimum was 18" across. That'll do nicely!
When I get this lot home, there will be carpet-cutting. Also probable attachment of velcro to the edges, so they can be fitted together for use. I'm not sure if it'll be stiff enough to be self-supporting on a table less than 36" across, nor sure what I'll do about it if it isn't.
