What Is PLAYFINISH™?
Every Tigre de Tartán gaming mat is made from PLAYFINISH™ — our signature faux leather, and the reason our mats don't look, feel, or sound like anyone else's. Ours are the only mats on the market made with it.
Why it matters at the table
- Waterproof and wipeable. Spilled wine, sweating glasses, snack mishaps — one swipe and the game goes on.
- Sound dampening. PLAYFINISH softens the clack of shuffling tiles into the satisfying, lower-key sound players love (excellent tile ASMR, if you ask us).
- Heavy-duty, but thin. A structured surface for effortless tile movement, with a soft textured backing that protects your table — no bulk, no curling corners.
- The look of luxe leather. Because a game this beautiful deserves a surface to match.
Made with care
Every mat is hand-illustrated by an independent female artist exclusively for Tigre de Tartán, then custom made to order in the USA and Europe in small batches. Designed on the North Shore of Chicago.
