Shuffling, dealing, betting, tapping, trick taking, defending, summoning. Just a few words are enough to hint at the game genre that we want to talk about today. No wonder since card games have been with us for centuries and have influenced our culture, language and the way we spend our free time. Who hasn’t packed a deck of cards when going for a school trip or having some beers with friends?

Card games are evolving constantly, especially nowadays when there are places like Kickstarter that can help creators with showing off their ideas to gamers. Meanwhile people who play games are looking for more comfortable ways to play their favourite card based titles at home. At Geeknson we have created many tables and add-ons that make playing card games faster and even more fun. Let us walk you through some of these.

Classic Games That Never Grow Old

When hearing the term “card game” many people will instantly think about poker. This over 100 years old game has sported numerous variants and is played all around the world casually and competitively. 

How can Geeknson Tables improve your experiences while playing poker? First: the fabric inset makes all cards much more stable. Same with chips used for betting. Additionally: player stations and counter holders are a great way to keep your cards, chips and the often sizable chip box away from the table leaving lots of space to actually play.

Customizing Your Experience

If you want some thematic additions, getting a proper casino-style coloured inset, might also be a great idea. Also: our online store is offering an endless amount of playing mats customizable to any of your favourite games. We can decorate these with poker themed illustrations or even feature XXL boards of classic games like craps or roulette on them. Just mail us at info(at)geeknson.com and we’ll see what we can do for you in this matter.

Playing and Collecting

Newer Trading Card Games and Living Card Games also work great with our tables and can benefit a lot from the already mentioned features: from the soft inset, to a playing mat and player boards. Additionally all sorts of counter steel cups, counter holders or modular magnetic accessories (introduced during our BRISTOL Board Game Table campaign) can help a lot with keeping counters or tokens in games like Pokemon TCG or Arkham Horror LCG separated from each other and easy to pick up.

Getting Competitive

When you want to try the more competitive side of card games, a table divider can help a lot. You can use these add-ons to divide your Geeknson table into 2 parts and have a match of your game in each of these. This way organizing small or bigger tournaments becomes easy and fast like never before.

The Bottom Line

All in all, no matter whether you’re into poker, TCGs or other board games that use cards a lot (like Terraforming Mars or Everdell), Geeknson board game tables are fantastic to make these even more fun, faster and more addictive. No matter whether you’re planning a few fast matches or an entire game night.
