¿Question #2573?
mrbeankc: Does a game having a paper map rather than a mapboard make you less likely to purchase it?

oldhoss: Depends. I would be worried about ruining a paper map, but a paper map has the potential to be really big and that might be fun.
Woelf: That's not likely to be a factor.
jasta6: no, but I would much eather as board for my board games..............................................................................................................................................
Felimid: Yes ... but it really depends on the game ("Ogre" uses a paper map, and I haven't ever complained about it or heard anyone else complain about it).
Threedub: Hell yes.
TunaSled: Yep. Good components are almost as important as gameplay and if I have to construct my own bits I feel like I paid too much.
Paustian: Yeah. Waste of money if the game pieces breaks after three tries.
Spirit of 70: Yes.
arkibet: no - but for Stephanie, 100% yes
magicurt: yeah
DasViktor: No, many great games have paper maps.
spayne: yes
Cringing Dragon: Not always. The portability of the paper maps can be an advantage, so it depends on where I intend to use the game.
Numskull: A little.
Hubsi1w6: Yes.
WatchmanX2000: no
Capt O: no
tsievers: No. Most wargames have paper maps. A mounted map is a nice feature, tho.

Roja: Yes
mothertruckin: No
JoelCFC25: Yes
Inntrepid: yes
Lord Ramius: no
Avron: Yes.
DHEK: Yes, especially if they're charging too-high a price and one that I would feel deserves to have a mapboard included.
clandaith: Nope.
scriptorum: Only a smidge.
POvidiusNaso: Yes.
powwowdancer: HA!?! Where can I find any new game that has a map board?!? They're all paper, as far as I've seen!
ZeroZilla: Yes. But it wouldn't be entirely out of the question. (Especially if replacement maps were easy to come by)
jason718: yes
KentuckyKid: No.
GVogel: Nope.
ZiggyZambo: Yes
roberto: yes.
bigbadsteve: not really
Chris Page: Yes, just because it's likely to be much harder to notice in the first place, and then find a place to buy it.
vampywife: probably, it would be hard to keep it in good condition and it would have to be purchased over and over
Lawrence Hung: Yes in the beginning when they change from board to paper. Get used to it now.
Helenoftroy: It really depends more on the game play.
dwarf: Depends on the game.
brainrob: No
mrspank: Yes.
dietevil: no
RonStock: No I would just laminate it

Tushratta: No, but I prefer mapboards.
archduke: depends on the quality of the game
irratejon: no
skrutsch: no, but games I'm interested in tend to have mapboards.

sourwyrm: yes
KingMob: No
Mease19: yes
davedanger: no
Lord_Prussian: Somewhat
The Unbeliever: 42
Ludocrazy: yes
Gecko23: Since those paper maps are inevitably covered with a bunch of little hexes for stacking endless piles of tiny cardboard scraps on? You betcha.
djlg: Not really.
MisterCranky: I never really know what's in there until I buy the damn things.
2amp: no
e.c.r.: yes
heli: n
yossarians: nope, that's why god made poster frames
ThatFalafelGirl: to a degree, yes
ValJor: Most definitely yes.
chockle: Yes. The production and artwork matter to me.
skelebone: I can't think of any games I want that have paper maps.
chaddyboy_2000: No.
jttm: Yes
snoozefest: y
CortexBomb: Not because of the map, but I don't have any games with paper maps currently because those seem to almost all be war games, which just aren't that interesting to me
CDRodeffer: No
Dave: Slightly.
Spielfreak: It hasn't yet
jimchris: If I'm pondering the purchase, it may well tilt the balanced to no-go.
