Why we say this

What this recommendation is based on

Six pairs of influence cards, a central Court deck, coin supply, reference cards, and visible challenges need a modest shared rectangle.

Planning estimate: This is a conservative planning estimate based on the documented setup structure and the space needed to use the components comfortably.

Deck construction, edition, accessories, player count, and play style can change the footprint. This is a planning estimate; send a measured correction if your setup differs.
