The words affordable and board game table are likely things you never expected to be in the same sentence. Even if you wanted one of the impressive Game Toppers for your standard table, you were still going to spend over 1000 dollars for a 3×5 table. Most tables today are in the range of 2000-3000 dollars, and that’s before you pay to ship a product weighing hundreds of pounds.
Enter Project Ironwood, a project we have written about many times before, which is now in the process of shipping tables to backers around the world for Wave 0. What are you getting? Let’s talk about it.
Obviously a table that retails for only a few hundred dollars is not going to be solid wood, is not going to weigh hundreds of pounds, and is fairly likely going to be criticized. How good can an inexpensive – I refuse to use the word cheap here – table really be?
The development team behind Project Ironwood have created a lightweight steel table that quickly assembles and disassembles (yes you can take it places)! The lightweight steel is coated in a variety of colours of your choosing, and goes together with a few bolts. The table assembly is a mixture of rods and toppers that are put in place, with a sized neoprene mat laid on top to create a smooth gaming service.
The game table boasts many of the same features you’ll find in a table cost 5-8x more, including additional options for cup holders, card holders, bag holders, bits holders, and more. The company also is offering a topper for the table so you can use it to store a game while either playing something else, or perhaps having something quick to eat before getting back to what is underneath.
The toppers also come with legs that can screw into the bottoms to make small side tables for board game boxes, coats, wallets and keys, etc. This is actually a really unique way of using the toppers not in their standard use format. Other tables just suggest laying the theme aside when not in use.
GamesReviews is looking forward to reviewing this table very soon, but understandably (and I think morally correct) the company is looking to have fulfilment moving before providing review tables!
You can read more about the table in an interview we did with founder and designer Dan Blacklock here ! Here is the latest update from the company:

Slay the Princess has become a surprise indie hit, spreading through word of mouth to reach a wider audience. In our review, Editor-in-Chief Stacey Henley gave it four out of five stars, and it even made it onto a couple of our Game of the Year lists. With all of the buzz going around, many are looking into trying it out themselves - and now the devs are urging them to do it properly.
The year 2020 was an interesting one for our planet, and an incredibly boring one for me personally. By day I was working remotely from my apartment, managing one of the pop-up shelters created by the U.K. government for its unhoused population. By night I was locked away in my bedroom-come-office staring at the same few glowing screens and in desperate need of anything that might take my eyes off the news cycle. That’s when I discovered solo board gaming.
Starfield developer Bethesda has issued an end of year update for the space game, outlining what players can expect in 2024.
In 2022, upstart crowdfunding website Gamefound left beta to go head-to-head against Kickstarter, at the time the world’s premiere crowdfunding platform for tabletop games. More than a year later, the Polish company has proved its worth with a cavalcade of high-profile campaigns by CMON, Everything Epic, and Chip Theory Games among others. Now its own imprint, Awaken Realms, has achieved something remarkable: It’s campaign for Nemesis: Retaliation, the third in its series of Alien-inspired board games, is now the third most-funded tabletop game of all time. It closed Thursday with nearly $12.2 million earned. Delivery is expected by April 2025.
Developer Mimimi Games has announced that the final update for Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is out now, bringing modding tools to the game.
Yesterday, Insomniac Games and Bethesda Game Studios announced around the same time that the awaited Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Fallout 4 updates have been delayed to 2024.
Every year since 2009, either a Call of Duty game or a Rockstar title was No. 1, but that could change in 2023.
In a year filled with chaos on social media and digital platforms of all types, board games have continued to be a safe haven for folks looking to come together in person. But the relentless release schedule — including hundreds, if not thousands, of new board games, trading card games, and miniatures games from all around the world — can still be a lot to keep track of for most fans. That’s why we like to take the opportunity here on the last page of the calendar to slow down and to take stock of the best board games we played this year.
The festive season is upon us, so as you look ahead to the New Year, there's obviously only one question on your mind - how are we going to entertain our friends at our New Year's Eve bash? And I'm here to tell you to put that complicated board game instruction manual away, because the only game you need this December 31 is WarioWare: Move It!
A new video reel showing off upcoming games created within the PlayStation China Hero Project program has been shared today by Gematsu.
As the viral horror franchise continues to grow, Damien Leone teases plans for a video game and haunted house experience. The slasher movies center on the menacing Art the Clown as he enjoys a bloody streak of murders in a fictional New York town, as well as survivors Victoria Heyes and Sienna Shaw as they grapple with the trauma of encountering the killer.
