I've got one of the mats from Mars Attacks and two from Deadzone made out of the same mouse pad foam material.  They are mostly great and quite durable.  The one downside is that if your terrain or figure bases have any kind of sharp corners or burs, you can end up snagging the fibers and pulling them off the foam.  Not a big deal but you do have to take a little more care than paper mats or hard boards.  Other than that, I like them a lot.  I've had mine stored folded in quarters and as long as you don't stack anything on top of them they don't crease.  If you can find them cheap, go for it.

Thanks for the information. I was curious as to how well they would line up with the new Walking Dead All Out War deluxe mat that I have. If the roads line up or are the same width then I am golden to get one to use with my TWD plastic cars, trucks, and barricades. I want a little variety in my play area. Currently I just have TWD mat which is 20"x20" and a Heroclix business office mat that is 2'x2'.

The Mars Attacks mats are 2ft x 2ft, so a bit bigger than the TWD mats, I have no idea if there is a difference in road widths, but suspect they will not be the same.

Ok, took a picture with a tape measure.



Hope that helps.

Thanks, off to measure the roads on my TWD mat and the width of my plastic trucks and cars.
