Product description
This Special Player Tray make setup a breeze. It functions as Player Mat with all the components ready to go (Player Tokens not included).
The tray comes with a lid that leaves room to keep any meeples, disks, cubes, or coins underneath. This will allow you to keep all the player components that normally go on the player mat already set up and ready to go when you want to start a new game of EU:tPoP. Since, in most scenarios, players start with 3 Monarch Power of each type and 15 Ducats, those can already be in place in the Monarch Power Pools and Treasury.
Furthermore, if you need to interrupt a session and pause a game, the tray will help you saving the state of your game session so that you can continue the next day (with Treasury, Monarch Power, Available and Exhausted Manpower Pools, and Town tracks kept intact), so the only thing that you’d need to focus on is placing the required pieces on the actual board.
It has 2 separate layers for the Small Towns, meaning that once you have placed the first 20 Small Towns on the map, you simply lift the top layer track off to uncover the second set of Small Towns, handily tracking Income from 21–40 and Manpower from 11–20 (so you won’t need the +20 Tax/+10 Manpower tile anymore).
It also has a small recess at the bottom to place the Advisors and Ruler without a need to lift the tray (as was needed with the regular player mats). Again, just another small quality of life improvement.
