Materials

Some Dominion sets, in addition to cards, provide other materials.

Player mats

Player mats (playmats or mats for short) are pieces of cardboard used by certain cards to set aside resources for future use. Island sets aside cards on a mat until the end of the game. Pirate Ship and Trade Route set aside Tokens on a mat to keep track of they generate when played. Native Village sets cards aside to be drawn later. Cards that produce   tokens put them on a mat to be scored at the end of the game. The Tavern mat is a place to keep your Reserve cards until you call them.
