My photo hasn’t really done it justice, but this is the gorgeous playmat produced by Fantasy Flight Games for their Elder Sign co-operative card game. The playmat depicts a plan of the Miskatonic Museum (the setting of the Elder Sign base game, which players are required to explore in order to prevent the return of one of the Great Old Ones) overlayed with the image of shadowy tentacles. There is also a nice Art Nouveau border surrounding the map, and depicting characters from the game along with Nyarlathotep and Ghatanothoa at each corner.
In any case, one of my New Year resolutions was to have a weekly solitaire game night as of January; this hasn’t quite come to pass due to my workload at the start of the year. However, my intention now is to make this a regular activity (and a semi-regular feature of this blog) as of next week - starting with a game of Elder Sign (and no doubt accompanied by some additional accessories which will also make their way onto the blog over the coming days).
