Toyboard

Summary

Toyboard, as the name suggests, takes place on a massive toyboard. This is one of the oldest maps to have remained unchanged in design.

Design & Path

Toyboard is a massive light-patterned board with wooden borders. There are various toys around the map, including a teddy bear, letter blocks, building bricks, a toy fire engine and a jigsaw puzzle piece. Additionally, there are some playing cards, a spilt can of Bloxy Cola and a Biro pen. A massive brick castle stands prominently at one edge of the map, complete with a blue flag.

The puzzle stud path begins at the small cardboard box and ends at the toy castle. It takes arbitrary corners, which means it cuts back on itself several times.

Strategy

• The middle of the map is the best place to place ground towers due to the abundance of corners.
• If you do bring cliff towers, place them first on the body of the brick and then on the studs. This will help you stack cliff towers and maximize cliff space.
• While there are some cliff spots, they are mostly away from where most of the ground towers you place are.
  • This means it can be hard to place a Commander near the cliff towers while accompanying the ground towers.
  • The DJ Booth can the boost the range of towers. If the DJ Booth combined with the Ranger, then the Ranger can reach the entire map.
• This map is quite ideal for the Ace Pilot and Pursuit as their flying pattern closely lines up with the path.
• There are lots of corners in the map so remmember to put towers carefully to pull out their best damage (Gladiators, Minigunners, Accelerators,...)

Trivia

• There used to be a glitch where the arrow that was meant to be pointing from the box was found in the corner of the map.
• An easter egg can be found with a picture of BelowNatural on the back of the castle.
• Unlike many other maps that existed prior to the MEGA Update, this map was not remade or removed.
  • This map was not even remade for the Overhaul or Frost Update.
• The map used to have two large toy blocks in one of the the corners of the map, though they were removed soon after release.
  • The icon of this map still shows them as being present.
• This map was originally a map submission for Tower Battles, before becoming a map in Tower Defense Simulator.
