A Gaming Table My Wife Will Let Me Have

[El Mahdi]

I'd be afraid to let anyone near it, in case it gets scratched.

Everyone would be required to wear a protective smock to keep anything that might scratch it away (belt buckles, buttons, metal dice, etc.).

I'd rather build my own out of materials I'd be less worried about. And then I'd use the money I saved for a built-in, dedicated computer network and a horizontally mounted, large flat screen TV for maps.

I checked it out at GenCon and actually asked them about sales.........one of the booth guys told me they had already taken several orders during the show.

I don't know how well sales would hold up in the current economic times.....seems like the ultimate gaming luxury item. Funny though, I had the same thought as the original poster's thread title. People pay that for pool tables all the time. (Working on my justification)

Well I declare. "Luxury gaming". Whodathunkit?

I imagine a group of well-heeled gamers dressed in tuxedoes imbibing cognac and single malt scotch while gathered around the Sultan for a rousing game of Diplomacy.

I sure wish I was one of those guys....

Now, all I have to do is come up with the $10K price tag...

If you already had the table, it would be easier - you could plan a bank robbery or a casino heist on that table...

In the words of Igor Olman, "IT SHALL BE MINE!"

Seriously, I'd love to come up with something like that. The materials used in construction appear to be the best possible.

Very utilitarian. However, from the aesthetics point of view, I would never put that piece of furniture in my house. If I had that kind of cash, though, I'm sure the company would entertain my stylistic requests...

Sorry guys, but there is to be NO food or drinks anywhere near the table (even though there are cup holders)!

The Sultan, new house, the Sultan, new house, the Sultan, new house...

I CAN'T CHOOSE!!!

They defninitely will work with you and will do custom work, but it's more expensive.

You know she only said you could have it because she knows it probably won't happen, don't you?

Women are like that...
