Terraforming Mars Acrylic Overlay

Love these acrylic overlays for Terraforming Mars. They look great and do a great job of holding everything in its place.

I had a small issue with my order and customer service was absolutely fantastic. Took care of everything.

I would definitely order from TBT again. A+
:grinning:

I've purchased a lot of things from Broken Token and have always been happy with the quality of the cuts and precision of the connections. In this case the overlay was disappointing. It just lays on top of the Terraform players card, it doesn't connect in any way, so it slides all over the place. Some of them didn't align with the card at all so they were off set with the card sticking out slighting on one edge or the other. I've grown to expect better from Broken Token over the years, so this was a let down. Wouldn't buy this one again.

These are great when the Terraforming gets bumpy and the production is at stake! They hold the markers in place from most table bumps. Wonderfully clear acrylic, I just taped all 4 edges to attach the to the player board with super clear tape.

These are cut perfectly! Really help hold the pieces in place. Still need to secure it to the board underneath somehow such as photo corners. The pieces I received seemed to have a thin clear plastic film on both sides to peel off which came off relatively easy.

Flimsy and not what i expected.

I got exactly what I ordered. The problem is that I didn't think about there was no backing or way to use it so it would stay in place so really the same problem exists as before the purchase. I kept them but not thrilled I had to tape them to my game board.

Fragile middle sections

The overlays work well to keep game pieces organized and align nicely with the original player mats. There was some damage during shipping; however, Broken Token was quick to respond and very understanding. I'm definitely going to keep doing business with them!

I thought that the back side of the tablet would be self-adhesive and it would be easy to glue a cardboard gaming tablet to it. It is very inconvenient to glue it yourself or leave it not glued at all.

Very useful and easy to use.

Fit isn't exact on blocks or mat, but they are definitely usable and much better than being without them

The overlays came in exactly as advertised. The look was clear and the cutouts lined up nicely with the player mats. I did have some pretty strong warping on all five of the acrylic overlays so they didn’t sit flat. I found covering them with a sheet of aluminum heating them with a clothes iron for a few seconds and then pressing them flat took the curve out pretty easily though.

Essential for playing the game with people who “bump” the table a lot!

Item arrived broken, the company immediately replaced with items not broken. The items are great and make the game playing so much easier!! Thanks for the customer service!!

Alignment could have been better. Does the job.

The overlays are great quality and seem very durable. They were rather difficult to set up, though. I had to do it in three different shifts because it was hurting my fingers a lot to punch out the acrylic. I found that the boards themselves are slightly off from the mats in ways that aren't really that big a deal, but they are also very slick and tend to slide around on the mat, making it annoying to continually adjust. Other versions of these tend to either replace the mat altogether or allow you to insert the mat underneath where it can't move. This is not one of those and I kind of wish I had looked for one of those options instead.

It saved the game we were playing someone bumped the table and all the pieces from my husband's board were just were they were before it worked fabulosly so happy with this purchase. Will definately reccomend to my other friends that play TM as well. the only thing is it broke in one of the quadrants of the board but easy fix with some super glue and it is right as rain it is a bit flimsy but if you are careful with it should last for years. Happy customer.

They look great! Definitely improves cube management, but does not hold the board in place. Overlay kept moving out of position throughout gameplay.

Looks great and easy to use. Only Mark against it is the lack of any way to secure the board to the card. It just sits on top and is hard to square up.

They are helpful to keep your cubes from moving around when bumped, but wish they had someway to stay on the card. Either edge to hold it in place on card or make a slot the card slides into. be very careful when snapping the cubes slots out of the overlay as they can break the connecting acrylic piece that holds the cubes in place, like one of mine did.

This overlay keeps the cubes in place, but the lack of any back means I am still constantly readjusting it to align with the player mat. That's less hassle than adjusting individual cubes, but it's still some hassle.

I knew that these did not have backs but thought that they may have a recess to seat the card into the overlay. Not a huge deal and I am sure I can do the magnet or tape if I need to. Also with respect to those that are stating the thin parts between the tracks break off, if you start to punch the pieces out at the thickest surrounding area it reduces the stress on the surrounding area. Support the thin part with a fingernail pushing back as you punch through. No issues or breaks punching out all 5 trays.

I got these after seeing raving reviews, but must say I was not impressed by the quality. Many of them broke while punching out the little plastic areas for the cubes to slot. I would say they are still useful but not great quality as others have said. I would recommend to look for sturdier products.

This is a gift for my hubby who plays Terraforming Mars solo about two times a week. It looks great and seems to be a better product than the wood overlays that I have seen.

I do enjoy these boards, but was a little bummed out that they arrived warped. I'm hoping to just take a heat gun to them so they flatten out.

nice Gadget.

The overlays are great to keep everything in place. The punch-outs are really difficult to get out and many of the surrounding pieces are fragile. I broke one. Also, I purchased 1/4" magnets to place at all 4 corners to keep the overlays from sliding. It would be nice is something like this were included.

The markers look great and add to the aesthetic of the game.

Love it, works very well. I cracked 2 of them while taking out the inserts, but it didn't affect how they worked. Definitely glad I bought them.

I recently got TFM, and was disappointed with some of the elements that the manufacturer used in the game. The little white cubes as markers were one of them. I really like the pop of color and how they stand out with their color and height yet don't feel out of place. A great little upgrade for a reasonable price.

I have a small gripe about this product: they ship with a protective film that I found difficult to remove. Very minor.
