Troubleshooting

Board quadrants won't interlock properly

Ensure all interlocking edges are clean and free of debris. Align each quadrant carefully before applying gentle, even pressure to snap them into place. If a piece seems misaligned, slightly adjust its position.

Game pieces appear wobbly or unstable

Verify that the pieces are placed flat on the board squares. Some natural variation in the base of plastic pieces can occur, but ensure they are not placed on an uneven surface or board seam.

Difficulty distinguishing between factions for new players

The factions are typically distinguished by their material resemblance (marbled stone/emerald vs. obsidian/redstone). Explain these color and texture differences to players. For example, 'The lighter, marbled stone and emerald pieces represent the Overworld, while the darker obsidian and redstone pieces are the hostile mobs.'

Scratches or scuffs on pieces/board

Minor cosmetic blemishes can sometimes occur with plastic products. To minimize future scratches, always store the pieces and disassembled board carefully, ideally in separate compartments or wrapped to prevent rubbing.
