Bushido is played on a 2 foot x 2 foot board. I have plans to make a very fancy temple garden board, but I also wanted to play right away. What else could I do, but make a quick and simple play surface?
I started with a sheet of hardboard. I use pieces of this for basing terrain all the time. It is cheap and light. A 4x8x 1/8" sheet is only $8 at any big box building supply store. You may even be able to get them to cut it down for you if you don't have access to a table ...

Looks rad! Neoprene changed my views on terrain boards in terms of portability, but there's something special about a nice handmade board, like practical fx vs cgi.
Where is the big Torii from? I really dig that piece.

Neoprene is great, but I love the tactile feel. Texture is important!
The big Torii gate is an old aquarium piece I have had sitting around for 10 years or so, I'm not sure where it came from. It's a big wooden piece and I haven't modded it at all.

Looking forward to seeing this in action. Love those muddy ruts.
