I'm trying to find out a little more about this product before purchase. Has anyone tried, is it user friendly?. What about value for money?.
Thanks for any replies.

Have you tried the demo yet? If not, I would recommend doing so, and download the user guide.
I bought Shuffler, and I like it. So far, I've used it to make maps of a modern research vessel and a small spaceship. Overall, it's pretty easy to use, but there are a lot of options depending on what tile you place (the guide came in handy for this). Overall, it's been a good purchase for me, and it was fairly easy to pick up. It took me about 6 hours to make the research vessel map (3 levels) and I was learning while I did it. I just made a floorplan of a house and shed to be used for gaming the movie "Dog Soldiers." I created that in less than 2 hours.
I would recommend planning out large builds using graph paper to help keep track of the tile your currently working on in order to place the objects in the correct spot.
Hope this helps!

If you use modern floorplans instead of three dimensional scenics, I think it's the best thing since sliced bread. I'm trying to persuade the author to make a fantasy version

I like making the floor plans instead of 3-D for two reasons: 1) easier to just print and cut the floor plans 2) storage. I actually mount mine to matte board then cut out. The matte board gives the tiles some weight, but still allows for easy storage.
Andrea, I too would like to see a fantasy version. I mostly play modern horror and/or scifi, but have an interest in fantasy.
