Why we say this

What this recommendation is based on

Five three-row bird tableaux dominate the long edge; central boards and card/food displays consume the center.

Planning estimate: The numeric envelope is a conservative layout model for the declared setup. Sources establish identity or setup structure but do not independently measure the full in-play footprint.

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