The team at Dragons & Geeks is proud to present you the Monarch Gaming Table. It is the culmination of more than 18 months of design and development with the goal of offering you one of the best quality and reasonably priced gaming tables on the market. It is our first design and we are proud to offer it on our first Kickstarter campaign at a significantly discounted price. The Monarch is sturdy, elegant, and functional. It looks as good whether you are gathering friends or family for dinner or for the latest RPG.
The table was sent to me to review.

I caved and backed this table since I’ve been waiting for a review I asked for from you like a year ago. Grateful to know it may have been a great purchase. I’m disappointed they haven’t been able to meet their April deadline, but still excited and having a hard time suppressing my anticipation.

The flick problem will probably decrease over time. I had the same problem with another table and after I accidentally spilled some water over it and after drying... the problem was gone in that area. Don't spill water over it, though, a damp cloth will do the job. I guess it has something to do with electrostaticness or fiber orientation of the fabric. But of course it could also be a problem with materials like polyester.

I'm hoping we can (carefully) pop out the fabric surface and use the wood under it as a second play area, for flat games like jigsaw puzzles. If that works well, perhaps I'll even DIY an additional surface to fit where the table-top leaves go. (Inspired by your multiple surfaces in "How A Board Game Table Will Help You Game More.") As a backer, I'm so glad the Monarch looks like a solid choice! It looks to be much higher quality than the slightly cheaper Jasper, and much more affordable than a comparable Wyrmwood, even considering shipping to USA. Thanks for your review, Alex!

Owner of a Wyrmwood medium (standard width) here. The Monarch with comparable vault dimensions is the large (wide width). Both start at $1200 USD with topper (rustic elm option from Wyrmwood). The size is ideal for everything but the largest table hogs. We recently played a 6-player game of Sidereal Confluence and everyone was comfortable. The Wyrmwood uses a single piece of very thick felt that tucks under the sides of the table. It's removable but doesn't slide around or bunch up, and there are no gaps to swallow tiny chits or other bits. The Monarch's felt, on the other hand, looks like a couch cushion, so expect to go fishing for small parts from time to time. The interior magnetic rail is also nice and allows for further customization. We use it for player desks and 3D-printed poker chip holders. Wyrmwood also offers counter-height legs in addition to dining height - depending on your space, a dining height table may look silly, so you'll have a bit more flexibility with the Wyrmwood. And for my money, the finish on the Wyrmwood is stunning. Every other gaming table looks like cheap plastic in comparison. If you're going to drop $1200 on a table, go with Wyrmwood.

Quick shout out that Dragons and Geeks are a British based company so reduces shipping costs for us on the other side of the pond. If you're laying down a thousand pounds/dollars for a table anyway you probably have the cash anyway but every little helps!
