Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the board is straightforward: simply remove the pieces from the storage box and arrange them according to the provided multilingual instructions. To maintain the set's longevity, keep it in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, which could fade the box or affect the acrylic layer over time. To clean the board and pieces, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these will scratch the polished acrylic surface. If the set gathers dust, a gentle wipe-down is sufficient to restore its reflective sheen.
