Game Night Table Topper 40"x40" Blue - GNTT1001BLU

Product Information

With its bestselling Megan table, UK firm Geeknson aims straight down the middle between those two, and the result is something very impressive. Geeknson kindly sent us one to test, so we can go into a bit of detail here. The rails are where most players will engage with the game because they serve as arm rests while playing. They’re made of military grade aluminum with a powder coat finish. And they’re fantastic! Last week, I had a few friends over for games and the Game Topper was out and ready to go. It’s such a draw that whenever anyone entered we had to stop and talk about the topper. It didn’t matter if we were in the middle of a game. The natural next step for everyone has been to touch it. They slide their hands along the rails, on the playing surface, and even underneath. The smooth feel everywhere goes hand in hand with the nice visuals. We’ve played with the Game Topper on both a folding table and a dining table and we don’t have to worry about it on either.

Your game will sit safe and sound until you’re reading to lift the lid, crank up the play area, and resume the game, right where you left off. It means you can play on a flat surface without having to awkwardly reach into the recess while being able to keep everything in one place when you’re done. Our typical table to play on is an old oval dining table in the basement. The Game Topper covers it nicely and gives us added space to boot. Being a rectangle on a square table is nice. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. One of the things we love the most about the construction are the support beams underneath the table. Each half of the table has 3 supports. The first is the end rail. There’s another near the inside edge and the third support in the middle of each half. So when put together on a typical long folding table, there’s a total of 6 support beams. The support beams keep it nice and sturdy on any table.

Chess table

First of all, 6 players can sit around the table nicely and we even get extra room into the corners of the table. It gives each player plenty of space to place their items (cards, boards, dice, coins, etc.). With the playing surface corralled by edge rails, it also means no more dice rolling off the table! Our Game Topper has a permanent home on our basement table. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. Additional accessories can be attached to the table’s perimeter, too, using a magnetic rail system. Add cup holders, dice trays, card shelves, or a ‘master shelf’ to accommodate your GM screen and tabletop RPG books. You can even customise the Prophecy with a gridded, wet-erase battlemat, or an acrylic overlay that lets you annotate maps and notes.

Picture this: a group of friends sits down around a table for game night. Two are regular gamers, playing twice a week. The other two are much more casual, only playing games a few times a year or around the holidays. Together, they will all have a blast playing Allplay games! Having run a small gaming cafe, higher level gaming tables were something we'd been looking at for a long while. However, between building your own 'make-do' at the cost of materials and time, up to the flashy, all bells-and-whistles style options available at the top end of the market - there was nothing. A void. And so our small team of gamers/designers/great coffee makers/joiners started to plan, and plan they did! First and foremost, as well as the external metal rail, the Megan has an ingenious wooden ‘lip’ rail running all the way around the edge of the interior game space, which does double duty. It’s a marvellous card holder we never knew we needed – but Geeknson also makes adorable little acrylic bins that hang off the internal rail just like the wooden accessories on the outside.Generally, these are features we’ve seen before on high-end gaming tables – but where the Megan’s magic really sets in for us is all the little extra details, and how beautifully they work together.

If you won’t be playing sprawling board games that cover vast areas, or are after a portable solution that can be set up and taken down in a jiffy, a foldingcard tableis a solid bet. Their smaller area will fit nicely in a tight spot, folding legs make them portable, and their flat, square surface means they can usefully function as a dining table if you’re looking to hit two birds with one stone. If you didn’t catch that post, no worries. Because we’re now ready to share our full review of this cool solution to having an immersive game experience without spending thousands of dollars on a high-end game table. (plenty of photos included)

Along the side is a slider that is moved into place once the halves are place together that can be tightened down to ensure all stays stable. There’s also a piece that slides into place to keep the halves together. If you’re pressed for space, the Jasper‘s optional ‘table topper’ can be placed over the recess, transforming your gaming space into an ordinary dining room table at your convenience. The idea is for the table to double as your gaming station and dining area, saving space and faff. They’re super simple to place and slide around anywhere you want along any of the 4 sides. Cup holders can go anywhere and hold cups or water bottles. While it wasn’t noticed as much during our games because of the mat, the wooden table surface itself it high quality as well. It’s very durable and has a wonderful finish.

In addition to this red mat, there are other themed mats available such as the Adventure, Dungeon, Space, Castle, and more. The game mat is a great addition. So are the trays and cup holders.It’s a sturdy piece of furniture that won’t just be tossed around. We’ve left it put together on a dining table we’ve been using in our basement for games. When we had buddies over for game night last week we simply moved it over to the folding table. That way one game could be played on the dining table and another on the Game Topper. (Yes, we all wanted to play on the Topper.) On the dining table, we don’t have to worry about any scratches. And on the folding table we don’t have to worry about any stability.
