Chessex Megamat CHX97246 – 34.5 x 48 in Vinyl RPG Map with Reversible 1-inch Squares & 1-inch Hexes

Overview

The Chessex Megamat is a large, durable vinyl map designed for tabletop role-playing and miniature games. Measuring 34.5 by 48 inches, it provides ample room for epic battles, exploration, and complex encounters. The surface is crafted from expanded vinyl, offering a smooth feel that stays flat on the table and resists warping over time. This mat invites creativity without crowding the play area, helping you visualize routes, dungeon layouts, and tactical positions with ease.

One of the Megamat’s strongest traits is its reversible grid system. On one side you’ll find classic 1-inch squares, ideal for measuring movement and positioning, while the other side presents 1-inch hexes for alternative tactical planning. The dual-grid design supports diverse game systems and scenarios, making it a versatile centerpiece for many campaigns.
