I think it was at a Partizan show a couple of years ago when I saw a game with a mirror at one end. I thought it was quite effective. Armed with a piece of wood and some mirrored sticky back plastic (but no used washing up liquid bottle) I have made my own, which now sits at the kitchen end of my table. I hope you can see it in these photos.
I think it is quite effective if somewhat unnerving if you catch movement on the mirror out of the corner of your eye. I can of course put other temporary backdrops against the mirrored board as and when needed. Tabitha is unimpressed of course.
That's a great effect, and a lovely looking cat too!
ReplyDeleteIt was on the Iron Brigade's game, Winter is Coming that you saw it I expect Colin. If I recall it was at the suggestion of Kevin's wife Vivian. It's very effective I thought on the right game layout.
ReplyDeleteThis gives a bit of depth in my opinion.
DeleteAgreed! Is Kitty a Willie, Tradition, or Jackdaw casting?
