You could write the next great novel on your phone, but you'll type faster on a laptop. Things go smoother when you have the right tool for the job.
A board game table is the perfect tool for playing board games. The Jasper is a board game table with a 3' x 5' playing area that seats six people. Made in the USA by BoardGameTables.com.
The biggest difference between a "normal" table and a board game table is the recessed playing area. There are 3" wide armrests around the perimeter of the table, and you play games in an arena.
This border:
The Jasper has a one-piece padded, polyester felt surface in the play area. It is about 6mm thick with a rigid back so that it lays flat without bunching. The play surface is Soft and smooth so cards slide across it and is heavy enough that it won't slide around.
Every table comes with a gray play surface.
The play surface:
In addition to the standard gray playing surface that comes with every Jasper, you have the option to add three colors to best fit your mood, a particular game, or the room. They’re easy to swap out, keep clean, and affordable!
Available in:
A sleek timeless design that doesn't scream "look at me!", but patiently waits for you to discover its beauty, in your time, while eating dinner or playing a game.
Its 3' x 5' playing area hits the sweet spot for board games. Six people fit very comfortably. Any game except the biggest monsters fit. But you don't have to strain to reach across it.
The Jasper is a budget conscious table, but that doesn't mean cheaply built. You won't find any particle board or MDF in your Jasper. It's made from solid wood. Malaysian Oak (also known as Rubberwood or Hevea Brasiliensis). It is a wood that has similar hardness characteristics as North American hardwoods, but is less expensive.
But using solid materials doesn't automatically mean a solid table. That's why we are making The Jasper in the USA (in Jasper, MO). This gives us the tightest possible quality assurance process, and a quick turn around time if problems need to be fixed. Production will be overseen by the same woodworkers who make our high end custom tables.
A chief goal of The Jasper is that it would be both easy to assemble and foolproof to assemble.
Easy to assemble means that you don't have to push, beat on things, or stretch too far. It means that the table holds itself together for you as you go. We added extra screws that aren't really needed structurally, but they help you hold things in place during assembly.
Foolproof assembly means that it is almost impossible to assemble it wrong. Similarly sized screws are color coded. Boards naturally fit in obvious places. Things that need to be tight are naturally tightened correctly
The only tools you will need are your own Phillips head screwdriver and an Allen wrench we provide.
