My copy of Terraforming Mars stopped working mid game last night

We were 3 hours into a 4 player game and the board just started sliding off the table because this one tile kept popping up. Turns out my cat had chewed a corner of the main board a few months ago and I never noticed it was warped. Had to stop and use a heavy book to hold it flat for the rest of the night. Has anyone else had a board get wrecked by a pet and found a good way to fix it?

@wyatt_mitchell26 is right, that warping is nearly impossible to undo and you probably just need a replacement board.

My cat did the same thing to my copy of Catan a couple years back. She chewed a corner off the settlement pieces and the robber fell apart. We used superglue but it never sat right on the board after that. The real fix was just buying a new copy off eBay for like 15 bucks. Honestly, the warping thing is a pain because you cant really flatten cardboard back to perfect. I tried the heavy book trick too but it only worked for a little while before it curled back up. Your best bet might be to just keep the book on it permanently or get a new board from the publisher if they sell replacements.
