Battle For The Crucible With New KeyForge Mats By FFG
November 21, 2018 by brennon
Fantasy Flight Games has designed a new range of Playmats for you to pick up for your games of KeyForge. They have not only worked on a Two-Player Playmat but also one that focuses on each of the factions within the game too.
The Two-Player Playmat is huge by the way and it will take up a lot more room compared to some of the other designs. It does come with space for your Keys, each of the decks you're using and such which is really nice and would be a neat gift for two people just getting into the game.
I have then picked out three of the coolest designs which I am considering picking up. I am a big lover of Paladins and Knights and so Sanctum was top of my list when it came to the mat designs.
I also like the design of the Dis faction in KeyForge too, the demons and strange creatures from the beyond in this world. I really like this take on them and it would be a good darker background for playing your games.
Last but not least whilst I don't have Shadow in my collection I really like the artwork for this particular mat!
There are plenty of other great designs out there and the full art design is perfect for this game. KeyForge is backed up by amazingly evocative artwork and so if this was bordered and concealed by more text and such I don't think it would have the same impact.
What do you think of the mat designs?

Interesting that the rules have you put the archive in front of your archon but their two-player mat has it off to the side. Anyway, besides creatures being in a single row, placement in KF isn’t so important. It’s definitely nicer to play on neoprene.
I hope they bring out more though, it would have been cool to play on Headhunter, the brobnar creature from the box art.
I’m sure they will mine the artwork for more mats – there are so many amazing characters that could be turned into something.
Love that artwork.
I just got mine in the mail yesterday! It is awesome!
Those look great. I might have to get one or two of those.
