"The story of the Riftbound playmats by Metamats and XPstore begins with listening. XPstore, known for its deep connection with trading card game communities, gathered feedback from Riftbound players about what truly mattered at the table. Competitors often release mats that look attractive but fail under real-world use. Players wanted layouts that supported intuitive play, durable construction that would withstand repeated use, and artwork that felt sharp and immersive rather than fading over time."
"Rather than designing in isolation, XPstore teamed up with MetaMats, a company already respected for its tournament-ready materials and precision builds. The collaboration became a conversation between creators and community. XPstore translated countless rounds of feedback into actionable design notes, while MetaMats leveraged its production expertise to bring those ideas to life. The result is a collection of Riftbound playmats that represents the voice of the players as much as the craftsmanship of their makers."
"MetaMats has long been trusted by competitive players across different card games. Its mats are known for cushioned neoprene cores that provide comfort and stability, stitched edging that prevents wear, and high-resolution cloth surfaces that allow cards to glide smoothly. By applying these principles to Riftbound, MetaMats ensured that every detail-from print clarity to material resilience-met the standards of serious players."
XPstore collected detailed feedback from Riftbound players focusing on playable layouts, durable construction, and long-lasting immersive artwork. XPstore partnered with MetaMats to convert community input into practical design specifications while MetaMats applied its tournament-grade manufacturing knowledge. MetaMats provided cushioned neoprene cores, stitched edging, and high-resolution cloth surfaces to ensure comfort, durability, and smooth card movement.
