A modular terrain assembly generally provides cooperating modular boards. Each board has a worksurface on a base, with the base elevated on legs. A tongue along an edge of one board is received into a groove along the edge of an adjacent board, thereby enabling a unified worksurface. The tongue and groove arrangement further includes alignment members for a more precise arrangement.
