Why we say this

What this recommendation is based on

Base plus expansion is reported to fit a 35-inch-square surface with room; the base-only four-player recommendation remains compact.

Real-table report: A published owner table dimension or explicit fit outcome informs the recommendation. It is field evidence, not a controlled laboratory measurement.

Dimensions are planning recommendations for the declared setup, not universal physical minima. Layout, edition, scenario, organizers, helper apps, and expansions can change the result.
