Why we say this

What this recommendation is based on

The game uses one central ascending sequence plus small life and throwing-star supplies; four concealed hands need more room than the center.

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.
