<p>Pros:
<br />
-Permanent markers can be easily erased
<br />
-Usable in almost any fantasy setting, as many types of “government” buildings
<br />
-The space is generally well used
<br />
-Some colours and small details are nice (like the food on the tables)
<br />
-Most of top floor’s rooms “make sense” and are well distributed</p>
<p>Cons:
<br />
-Many repeated rooms and duplicated artwork. All those 2x2 “admin rooms” look the same. All the beds are very similar. All the cells are cloned (and equally dull)
<br />
-Missing rooms: no pantry, no toilets, no kitchen (even if there is a small dining hall)
<br />
-Some buildings’ corners block line of sight from the wall battlements (this was shockingly painful to realize)
<br />
-There are no windows in any wall
<br />
-The lower level looks strange, with some awkward empty spaces and very little detail overall</p><p>I may have been expecting too much, but this flip mat was a bit of a let-down.</p>

Side #1 is a small fort and side #2 is a small prison/dungeon. This flip map is versatile and can be used for locations other than a watch station.</p>
<p>I believe Paizo is now using a new laminating material for the flip-maps. The new lamination is less rigid, so it should be easier to use on a gaming table. There were some concerns about the durability, but this map seems durable to me. This is a good change.</p>
<p>Great map, looking forward to more!</p><p><b>Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Watch Station</b></p><p>This is a great and "realistic" watch station from a fantasy perspective.
