What are the dimensions when folded?

Can I replace the pebbles if I lose some?
While official replacement parts are not sold separately, standard decorative glass gems found at craft stores are generally compatible with the pit sizes.
Is the board made of real wood?

To care for your set:
- Storage: Always ensure the magnets are aligned when closing the board to prevent it from popping open.
- Cleaning: Wipe the wooden board with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the board in water, as this may warp the wood.

- Safety: Keep the glass pebbles in a secure container away from toddlers and pets.
