What?

Not satisfied with my first board game table, I decided to try again. The first version had it’s flaws, so this one was designed to fix them: mainly adding easily removable cupholders and cover sheets for the play area.

This time it also has a full LED strip that still doesn’t shine straight into your eyes (like many of the fancy tables out there seem to do), as well as some USB ports.

My goal was to make the design simple enough to replicate, since I toyed with the idea of turning it into a sort of side hustle. That never really happened, but at least the table folds up neatly and fits in the back of my car, ready to take on the road.

The table can be covered. (But this solution is on the list flaws for v3)

The table can fold together and just rests on top of an Ikea table. Which of course isn’t portable. (Don’t mind the cats)

Design Process

I first created a design for the table in 3DsMax.
