Hi Dakka,

Currently my friends and I are using a gaming board I made, using 2x2 feet squares of MDF, covered with pool table felt.
It does its job well enough, however it is slightly heavy, does not fit together all too well, and does not look great.

I was wondering about the use of foam floor tiles to create a gaming surface (to place on top of a table).

Something like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHILDRENS-AREA-EVA-JIGSAW-PLAY-MAT-FOAM-PUZZLE-64sqft-/370421324918

They would be lighter than wood, and also inherently connect together.

On top of this I would like to make a cityscape, permanent roads, with spaces left for moveable buildings.

Does anyone have any recommendations or tips for working on foam?
