I would be interested to know if anyone has the 2-player playmat for this game and what their impressions on it are. I'm super interested in getting it and think it looks beautiful, and really am just looking for validation from the community that my inevitable purchase of this item is worth it.

I have it. Great for at home games. Some hardcore players are annoyed that it tells you where to put your cards since they place them differently

I think its great. It was worth it over the single player mats. It makes it easy to teach new players, and stops my regular opponent from fudging a dead character into the discard pile instead of the dead pile. The artwork really has a westeros feel to it.

i went to a fabric store and had them cut a 6*3 piece pf vinyl

Is there any place in europe to get this playmat? Shipping from the States is quite expensive.

Edit: Found one. Follow-up question. Doesn't it bother you that the rows of opposing characters are this close to one another?
