POSTERBOARD GAMEBOARD
We use different colored posterboards cut in thirds. You could cut in half for larger squares. Advantages we've discovered:
- Inexpensive
- Easy to stack and store
- Write on them with a permanent marker
- 2 sides in case you want to change anything for a different game or way to play
- Configures to any shape or size of room simply by how you lay out the pattern (we've even laid them out in the workshop and down the hallway)
We have the kids take their shoes off which prolongs the use, but they're also easy and cheap to replace if need be (the poster board, not the kids!)
