Keeping the bord from sliding

[Jabbadoor]

I was just having an idea. Is it possible to get something to keep the modular boards together, to prvent them from sliding, warping and the like, when gaming?

I know that you can get a base that keeps a peice of cardborad stand up straight (like in Arkham horror). I was wondering if something similar has been made, to keep two pwices of cardboard stick together ? I know, it sonds so silly when typing and explaining.

Maybe it could even be a cross, so it vould keep 4 peices together in one clamp ?

Any thoughts ?

Failing anything fancy, additional or extra cost... we game using a tablecloth. Everything pretty much stays put with natural friction.

Or recent holiday, took TP and BitF... we chucked down one of our beach towels on the glass table. Things would have been sliding everywhere otherwise, but similar to the usual tablecloth, everything stayed put.

Probably not exactly what you're after, but it's simplistic.

we use a felt cloth too.

on a couple games with weird fitting boards.. we flip them over and use that low stick easy remove green or sometimes plu paintes tape and tape up the back of the baords. then flip over. that NEVER fails...

Anything that adds friction. There are rubbery game mats for this kind of thing. We generally just play on a large-enough table that a little jiggling is okay.

Great . Thanks for the replies. I have gone a little research myself, and came to the conclusion, that what i wanted was a H-profile plastic jointing strip. Im figuring if i can get that in acrylic plast (transparant) itll do the job nicely. Im gonna check out the local handyman store for just that .

If it works, ill be sure to let you guys know

I have a friend who uses a joga mat on top of his game boards.

I didn't want to spend that much money, so I bought one of those cabinet rubber mats that line the bottoms of cabinets. It works well and it is smaller to transport.

we have used a giant felt matt before.
