Cigar Box Battle is at it again with another new Kickstarter. This time, they are selling Double-Sided Satin-Fleece Gaming Mats.

This company already has a number of beautiful designs and will unlock more through this already successful Kickstarter Campaign. These gaming mats go for $99 American plus shipping. If you buy in larger quantities you could get a small discount on top of that for each mat.

The material for the mats that they selected this time is actually of a higher quality than the last time around. last time, certain patterns were excluded from their double-sided mats because of the image would show through the other side. This time, all mats are available. Their new premium Satin-Fleece material is what allows this change.

My Thoughts On Cigar Box Battle

Now, straight up, I am going to tell you that I really like Cigar Box Battle. I have not got my hands on these new mats with the new material yet, but I do own several of their other mats. A number of them, Cigar Box Battle supplied me in the past for review. They are fantastic.

You can shove foam or objects under them to create natural looking hills and cliffs.

Must Contain Minis - Cigar Box Battle Review

An image of a Cigar Box Battle Mat with foam hills placed under it. It makes the terrain look seamless, but gives height too. Image from the Review of Cigar Box Battle’s Original Mats on Must Contain Minis.

On top of that, the mats pack up great and travel nicely. When I unfold mine, I have no issues with wrinkles or creases.

While it is not the newest generation of mats, I do have reviews of Cigar Box Battle’s Original Mat and their Double-Sided Plush Mats on Must Contain Minis. Both are fantastic and the new material is supposed to be even better than what I have now.

I actually like these mats so much, that I have over 80 posts on my own website all relating to Cigar Box Battle some how. In many of them, I use the mats as my table cover. In many others, I use the mats as a photography background for my miniatures. Check out the Cigar Box Battle Section of Must Contain Minis to check those posts out. You will be able to tell for yourself there that the designs on these mats are great and I am a big fan of the company.

Now, let’s chat a little more about the Kickstarter at hand.

New Designs

Cigar Box Battle often uses Kickstarter as a sales program to unveil new designs. They commit to creating new gaming mat designs as Kickstarter stretch goals. This Kickstarter is no different. Below is a small selection of new designs available through their Kickstarter.

An update on an old design printed at their highest quality. This is their Classic Desert mat. A close up of some of the details is at the bottom of the image.

A Destroyed city. Clearly here they are pitching for Sci-Fi Giant Robotic Titan combat, but you could use it for whatever else you want too though.  🙂

A nice background for your Space Games.

A little more darker and bombed out, this is their Desert Warfare mat.

These are their newest designs, but also just a small sampling of the many different gaming mats that you can buy from the company. They look so nice!

Wrapping it up…

Hopefully you enjoyed this quick look at Cigar Box Battle’s newest Kickstarter. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out their Kickstarter Campaign before October 25, 2019.

As stated above, I am a big fan of their mats. While not made of the newest material, I have over 80 posts all featuring products by Cigar Box Battle where you can check out some of their designs in action.

Thanks for reading and until next time, Happy Gaming Everyone!!!
