When you get into the board gaming hobby you quickly realize how important it is to keep your games in good, or even perfect, state. Protecting them with sleeves, keeping minis in special boxes or even going as far as laminating scoring sheets is becoming a standard thing for many players who have more than 2-3 games at home. At Geeknson we want to go forward, and make your games even more protected than ever before. That’s why all our tables are designed to prevent spilling liquids on the playing area or to make cards less likely to bend. Want to know how you can use our accessories and table features to make sure your games never meet with substances like water, wine or (take a deep breath) gravy? Here are our top 5 picks in random order.

 1. Watertight Tabletop Leaves

The Keep Dry System, invented by Geeknson’s best crafters, is one of the most vital parts of all our gaming tables since 2015. Each of these has a few-centimeter-deep area called The Vault. This is where you play your games. When you want to eat dinner, or perform any other activity that would normally require you to pack the game back into its box, you can simply cover that area with special “leaves”.

Watertight leaves are placed one by one to finally cover the entire playing area and turn the gaming table into a regular piece of furniture. Even though the cover consists of separate planks, water can’t find its way below them, as each of them has a special way of connecting to its neighbors. That makes spilling liquids or getting anything inside the play area virtually impossible. 

 2. Cup Holders and Wine Glass Holders

If you’re looking for some additional protection for your precious Gloomhaven or Terra Mystica game, you can make use of cup holders available for all the tables offered by the company. After attaching them to the outer area of the table, your cola, juice and tea are too far to pose any threat.

When you happen to play games with wine aficionados, there are also special wine glass holders available as an optional accessory. Looking at your guests siping the red coloured liquid will no longer make you anxious and allow you to enjoy the taste and the gameplay at the same time.

 3. Acrylic Layer

Acrylic layer sized similarly to the playing area is another useful accessory that can protect certain game components from harm. First: you place them right on the inset and then cover them with said layer. This not only allows more stable maps and boards but also guarantees nothing ever touches them. As a bonus, you can write on the layer using markers, only to clear it later on and keep the objects below untouched.

 4. 360 Aluminum Card Rail

This one is a bit different but can be equally helpful when taking care of your games. You know how some players tend to throw cards or hold them in a way that can destroy them? With the rail system present in our The Megan table players can place the cards in the rail and touch them only when they need to play them.

 5. Esc Cleaning System

Finally, when the components of the table itself get  some dust into them, or require additional cleaning, all of them are easily removable and designed to be simple to clear. You can take the inset out, same with the already mentioned acrylic layer. This way your table will become clean again within minutes.
