Natural rubber: why choose it for a durable outdoor toy
When choosing a game of skill, the material matters almost as much as the rules. Wood, metal, resin, silicone: each option has its strengths and weaknesses in use. Palet Match chose natural rubber, and that's no accident.
Wood and metal don't like rain
A wooden disc game eventually splinters or cracks after months of outdoor use, exposed to moisture and repeated impacts. Metal, on the other hand, resists impacts better but eventually rusts as soon as it's left out in the rain. Natural rubber, no splintering wood, no rusting metal: this equation guided the choice of material from the game's conception.
A material designed for intensive use
Solid rubber withstands repeated drops without deforming, season after season. Designed to last for decades, indoors and out, the material fears neither extreme temperatures nor humidity (a slight discoloration is to be noted in the sun but this is normal behavior for natural rubber). It is the only material that truly resists intensive outdoor use without requiring any special maintenance.
A choice also made for safety
Rubber also offers an advantage for families with young children. Safe for children, unlike wood that splinters or metal that rusts, the discs remain soft to the touch and without sharp edges, even after years of use. A safe material for children, without the risks of wood or metal, which matters when the game passes from hand to hand between several generations of the same family.
