Mistakes happen...
We always strive to deliver the BEST product to our fans... but...
rather than dispose of SpellGround mats that have slight blemishes, we offer them at a discount.
Most seconds have either blemishes on the BACK, or very slight blemishes on the front, or they might be slightly mis-shapen.
These are NON-RETURNABLE
You are limited to ONE of each design per customer AT ALL TIMES. Any order with MORE THAN ONE of any design/color will have their ENTIRE ORDER CANCELLED.
(Note - you 'can' order more than one mat, just NOT more than one of any specific style/color)
SOME of these mats are FIRST RUN mats that we've had just one or 2 of. They are noted as FIRST RUN, and are priced accordingly
SpellGround Salt and Pepper!
A spicy variation on a Classic!
In three flavorsof salt: Pink, white, and blue!

Our classic design is layered across a light grey/beige (greige) base, with a dash of salt to bring out the flavors!
Unstitched, lovingly hand cut, Approximately 26" x 26" on our V8X fabric.
SpellGround Logo Hats!
Show your colors!
This brushed twill, low profile, relaxed hat is meant for everyday wear.
It is unstructured, which means the crown of the hat is soft, giving it added comfort and a more easygoing style.
The open back fabric closure has an adjustable buckle for one-size-fits-all measurements.
Embroidered with our classic SpellGround Center Logo, in 6 different color combinations.
V8 versus V8X
What's the difference?
V8X is the new standard.
For most of 2023 and half of 2024, we've been creating SpellGrounds using a fabric that we refer to as V8.
It's a very soft, full bodied fabric that holds our SpellGround images perfectly.
But, until now, we've always added a bunting, or backing, to the V8 to make it a little more hefty.
But, after releasing a few mats without a backing, the fans raved about how much better it was without the backing.
1) It's lighter.
2) It's less thick.
3) It's easier to fold and return to the bag.
4) It's less prone to creases and bubbling.
In short, many of our fans believe, and we concur, that V8x - v8 fabric withOUT a backing - makes for a better SpellGround

Welcome to Khalsa Brain Games
Since 1995, we’ve been making the premiere play mat for Collectable Card Games.
Over the years we’ve created our hand crafted mats in many styles, sizes, colors and themes.
Today, we’ve brought back our original two-player mat, now available as the SpellGround Classic.
And ‘yes’, they’re made of a soft/fuzzy fabric that’s nearly identical to our original mats from the 90’s.
We pride ourselves on the craftsmanship of our mats - all of them hand cut,
screen printed, and then lovingly folded and packaged.
You might call us a ‘boutique’ manufacturer - as production runs are usually in the hundreds - not thousands.
If you’re a fan of our mats already, you’ll know that they are incredibly durable.
Many of our mats, which are nearly 17 years old, are still in use and can often be seen at tournaments and conventions.
