What do you look for in a table? We don’t have a separate game room, so we play all of our board games on our kitchen table and it’s a delicate balance between what you’d like and what’s practical. 😉 One of those fancy big board gaming tables, for example, ain’t gonna fit and are way too bulky for our kitchen – but you do need some space for bigger board games… choices!
Our current table is beginning to show a lot of wear and tear after almost a decade of service and we’ve ordered a new one! It’s a little broader than the one we have now so we hope that will make things fit easier when games already take up quite some space and have separate player boards like Root for example.
Earlier today we got the news that The Netherlands will be going in lockdown for more than a month, so we wish everybody the best during these hard times – keep calm and stay safe! For us, that means no more bouldering, which we normally do twice a week. I guess that leaves more time for playing board games and luckily there are quite some board games that can be played remotely and our favorite one so far is Tiny Towns. It just makes for a relaxing puzzle to solve while you can chat with people. And this lockdown combined with canceled Christmas parties will be the perfect moment to play some scenarios of Mansions of Madness. 😀

Abandon tables entirely, and instead move across a clear floor with a series of ceiling-mounted harnesses. Optimal space usage!

Have you looked at Game Toppers? You can get a big gaming table top to put on your regular table, but put it away if needed.

We’ve got a really nice big table, but the wood surface is really rough (rustic). I went to my local craft store and bought a length of black velvet material pretty cheaply and I lay that across the table for games. It makes it REALLY easy to pick up cards because it’s a bit squashable, and games look really good against it too.

I built my own table this year. I have since used it only twice (not playing solo). The whole COVID situation has made it nearly impossible to meet up with friends. I’ve played a few games solo but it’s just not the same. I mainly play small two player games with my girlfriend now on our salon table. I have two weeks holiday coming up so I might have some more time to break in the table for a few games of mage knight or something similar.
