Hey all,
I’ve been wanting to host game nights at my place, and was hoping to use an old folding table I have since it fits nearly under my couch (I have a small apartment) and, is cheaper than buying a whole new table.
Of course, I can use the table as-is (it’s just a standard folding table after all) but I was hoping I could get some ideas on ways to have it better suit tabletop gaming.
Right now my only idea is to get a neoprene mat for the top, but I don’t have any good ideas on how to non-destructively adhere it to the top of the table.
What about modifying the underside of the top? If it’s thin, you might be able to put magnets underneath and attach magnets to the mat for fasteners.
Not sure how well that would work but magnets were the first thing I thought of. I’m interested in seeing what other people say too.
I used to do this. Depending on the game and size of the table it can be a good idea to have some additional side-table space available to offload some components to. Ideally it should be a similar height.
Large neoprene mats are heavy enough stay in place on a table, and I’d just roll it up when you’re done. Large mats get expensive, so you might look into just covering a board with felt, it may be cheaper if you have the tools and are handy.
