UPDATE: GeekNSon have been in touch with us and would like to clarify that the table we've been set is a prototype. They've heard your feedback to our video and are working with engineers to improve their waterproofing system. Late pledgers for their kickstarter (www.kickstarter.com/projects/geeknson-kickstarter/bristol-board-game-table/) will receive a finished table with those improvements made

For real.......when this channel first started it sparked a board game interest inside of me that has grown to be one of my biggest passions. Weirdly this hobby has made such a huge impact on me in what has been a tough time for everyone. Only recently have I been able to play board games in person and it's living up to every rose tinted perception I had of what it would actually be like. SO I just want say thanks for introducing me to something that I truly now love. I get so much joy seeing this channel grow, have a studio, and just genuinely be great....you deserve it

If I had this table, I'd raise half to play Betrayal, and have the basement on the lower half. I know that's a waste, but it would make me happy

Not gonna lie, that thing with raising the part of the table is godly. Like, my mind immediately went to the ability to create a DnD map with high and low grounds.

I like how Adam is honest about what he things is the pros and cons of this table. It feels better than if he was just being overly positive.

Great review Adam. Pro tip - put cork coasters in the bottom of the metal cup holders and your glasses won’t stick. You can glue them in, but if you leave them loose you can still wash the cup holders in the dishwasher. Also, I think the tabletop IS waterproof - meaning that water won’t damage the finish on the wood leaves. But it’s pretty difficult to keep water going through the cracks with that kind of leaf system. If one were to cover the wood leaves with a plastic table protector you could use it for dining and not worry about the surface below. Cheers guys! Can’t wait to see the in person games.

That split in the middle is not for modularity, it is clearly gimmicked so that Adam can go through it.

This is really nice. All of it. Love the studio, the channel, the people. Also, please please please can you guys run a D&D game on the channel? I would absolutely love to see this group play D&D

I honestly would like to see Tom, Laurie, and Luke all do like a DND session after Adam mentioned that all of them play. Sounds like it'd be a fun watch.

So how long do we think it will take before Sully spills a cup of tea on the new table ?

Adam is such a nerd, and it's the most wholesome thing ever!

Honestly, that is a whole honkin' lot of table for the price. As for the waterproofiness or lack thereof, a simple, decent-looking vinyl-backed tablecloth takes care of that.

Adam's passion on this channel has made me a board game fan, thank you handsome blondeish man

I really respect Adam's integrity with this review. Could've just blew smoke up their asses for the free product but was open and transparent. Badass table as well. Now I want one, lol.

If you're playing Betrayal at House on the Hill + Expansion then the splittable would be a fun idea. Having the Upper and Roof floors on the higher section of the play area with the Ground and Basement floors on the lower area

I bought one of Geeknson's tables a few years ago. I absolutely love it. Ok the last 18 months it's been a fancy dining table mostly but I still love it. Adam is right you don't need one, but it's sooooo much better than playing on a regular table. You don't lose stuff off the table for a start, and the soft playing service is nicer than a tabletop. When I ordered I wanted a size they don't advertise, but they had zero problems with making it. I also went for an unusual stain colour, but again no problems. All the way through ordering they were great and the day it finally arrived they were great too. I can easily recommend them as a company. I bump into them at the UK games expo when they exhibit there, and they still remember me because of the table. It was expensive overall, but you can easily pay around the same for a decent dining table.... and this does so much more than be a surface to sit your plates on :)

So happy for you all! Looking forward to watching the first game in the studio. 😊

Whoever edited this is a wizard. Also love the hilarious music cut when Adam said "This is a luxury item. You just need a table go to IKEA. Don't be mental."

Tbh, I kinda like this sorta review. And not knowing Jack all about gaming tables, I’d be interested in seeing Adam do more gaming table reviews.

I don't play board games but watching Adam mark out over them makes me love them

I got into a board game craze watching FH do their board as hell, and got this channel recommended back on your first or second video. I don't really ever comment on YT, but this channel has been my go-to Friday entertainment for a while now, and it's been awesome seeing you guys grow. :)

Honestly this is the channel that I get most of my board game recommendations from. A really big fan and follower so I really appreciate what you guys are doing and so many people I've shown these games to have taken an interest in the hobby afterwards

Congratulations Adam and the NRB crew!!! Jealousy is off the charts. That set looks amazing

When you started pouring the water, I screamed “OMG! TAKE THE FELT OUT FIRST!”

I know zero about board games but I really enjoy this channel and trying to follow along with the games and thought this review was great! Congrats on this awesomeness and the studio, NRB!

The water thing really makes me feel like this isn’t that biased

Awesome review - Wish I could afford a gaming table but eager to see more content from you guys around the table :D Keep up the awesome content!

Excellent review, completely objective and entertaining to watch. Excited to see content from the new studio!

“We got this table from geek and sun-” Me: **omg the forbidden board game door is opening** Adam: ”[end of sentence]” Me: …not yet

Very good, honest review of the table! Really enjoying every video you guys put out, even a table review! Lol Can't wait to see the live BGC next week!

This is like the ultimate gaming table. It not being waterproof isn't so bad, you just need a vinyl tablecloth if one would use it for serving dinner.

Love this can't wait to see NRB in a studio and hopefully CBW again

That is a very nice table. I like multipurpose things. Love the video. Can't wait to see this table in action.

So happy to see Adam on so many channels!

I hope this table, as well as switching to in person videos, allows No Rolls Barred can do No Bad Rolls, a d&d show with Luke, Tom, Laurie, and featuring Adam as the grump who doesn't want to be there, but eventually gets won over by the magic of Dungeons and Dragons.

Loved the genuine enthusiasm and review. The video editing to show you sitting at the three spots was great for visualizing the size of things. May need to reconsider table sizing for other tables I have been looking at. The storage for the leaves was great. I like the line for holding cards(not too useful if you have anyone on that side with you, but still neat without distracting) That also serves to create a rails system that is incredibly simple to use. Love the system even if the boxes sent look and feel cheap it has the potential to be great. I like the ability to do split level, though like you I do not know how much I would use it. Like you said probably the best looking top I have seen. Honestly one of the nicer tables I have seen. On the negative side now. The acrylic containers look bad in comparison. The wood containers look overly blocky and feel like they take up too much space in my mind. The 2 part bottom can be annoying but I would say its nice, wish it was reversible so 2 colors. I wanted to complain about how many leaves there were but that just makes it so taking them off is easy. Each will be light and easy to store. The part that I do find annoying is that it seems only the end pieces have magnets to hold them in place. So while they are all on it seems to hold up well but otherwise it Really wobbles. So if you want to leave part in dining mode and play a game on half the board you really need to be careful to not knock the top off.

"How is anyone supposed to know you're a nerd?" Adam, you are sitting in a room surrounded by showcased board games

This might be the most endearing youve ever been on a video. Enthusiasm! Look fwd to seeing the games!

I genuinely love this channel too much.

Man I wish I could play board games with Adam, feel like it'd be so fun.

That picture of Terry is incredible!

I love this, Adam seems so happy

Love your honesty.

Hey, Adam. I had a couple of questions: 1. Which wood finish did you receive (i.e., natural oil or varnish)? I'm curious about the durability insofar as scratches are concerned. 2. Regarding the tabletop leaves: Do they move when someone leans against the table? How do they handle elbows? The video footage made it seem wobbly since they're only held on by magnets. Also, a small correction about the strake board: you only receive one for free, not two. Anyway, great job as always!

I have been working on building a proper pool table for my home for the last two years and this tables design is the most appealing look that I'm gonna match on my table. Who's to say I might copy the design to make my own gaming table after I make the pool table. I didn't even consider having cup holders in my initial design but this table got me thinking of installing some in both the pool tables and the gaming table eventually. Thanks for the inspo Adam.

Very cool! I can't afford anything like this for a bit. But I'll keep them in mind for the future! Thanks Adam!

I met geeknson guys at a gaming day in Cardiff a few years ago (2015). I've wanted one ever since. I will cry if I ever get one in the same way some people cry when seeing their favourite wrestler return after 7 years.

I had a little giggle everytime Adam said "felt".😁

I see Cash n Guns on the shelf behind Adam. Got to see that on a future Board Game Club.

To me, I think this will be the second coming (and more superior version) of Wil Wheaton’s TableTop. High production value silly board gaming with a hilarious group of friends. I’m all in!

Such a happy Adam

Omg I need in person D&D now that looks so nice please!

Love it can't wait to see the first episode

Brilliant!!

I've never been this early, but it's worth it to watch Adam nerd out.

The Dork Circle Tom picture is so full of emotion. XD

I know an add on you can get for the table to make it waterproof. It's called a tablecloth

Great review. For the price though I don't really like it. The fact it isn't water proof is basically what would prevent me from buying it. The slats are a good idea for easy storage but if I couldn't trust the felt being left under them then there's almost no point as you'd have to store the felt separately. However there's also minor gripes like the fact that there's indents in the sides which seem mostly pointless and they kinda prevent additional people sitting at those spots. It's minor but when you're paying that much money then you don't really want minor issues. I think the table is fine but I reckon there's better options out there, possibly more expensive but worth the extra investment. For a free table though you guys got a great deal!

Seeing Adam's childlike passion for board games is very much inspiring and on display here! I'm just curious how BGC will be shot knowing there will be the inevitable people facing away from the camera. 🤔

Congratulations Board Game Club 🎲❤

I can listen to adam sell anything. This is my third time watching this and i have no reason why lol

You can always use the waterproof table cloths when using as a dining table Adam!

I mean... I probably won't buy it because I don't want a huge table shipped over the Atlantic Ocean, but... As reviews goes this was really good, showcasing all the features, while remaining unbiased And at least now I have a feature set to compare to if I want to purchase one of those tables here in my country Well done!

That table is a beauty

That is an awesome studio

Lol when he revealed the toilet paper, my first tought was oh it comes with a spare toilet paper roll

you could use a waxed table cloth when used as a dining table, makes everything waterproof

Nothing makes me hotter under the collar than seeing people nerd out about their passions.

I’m happy that the gang will be playing in person BUT I’m scared of them losing some of the American players!!

Besides putting the leaves on can you use the two pieces and the part with the shelf in the middle to raise the felt bits up level instead of half up and half down?

I have one, a Square one for 8 places. But I think the ideal shape is octagonal

I can imagine the raised insert being used for Betrayal at House on the Hill to represent the main two floors and the lower potentially being the basement.

That test of water-proof-ness was so anxiety inducing. So glad the insets weren't there

This was fun. I wish I had people to play with so I can justify buying one of these.

That split would be great for MTG. you can have two games going on at once. Would be great to host like a little tourney at your house.

Board game table... Cool... Cool... New Studio and In Person Board Game Club! F**** Yeah!!!

Can we get a full studio tour once it's finished?

Congratulations

Support No Rolls Barred! Give 'em a subscribe and Get on Board! The new studio looks fantastic - can't wait to see Board Game Club played in it!

I didn’t even know board game tables were a thing until now, how very nerdy this whole thing is

Adam is so getting ready for the beginning of the new age following the zoom era 😄

Great review, would have been nice to see some games set up in it. other than the 1 card game

A wild Terry appeared!

Ok I'm American and only just discovered this channel (fantastic work by the way!) I just wanna know how I can get my hands on a smaller version of this table! The website has some more expensive options but nothing quite like this

Adam, you know what, I too also chew my finger nails during stress...and I am always stressed...I aint had nails since I was a kid :P

Do you still love this table? I love the modularity of it. However they are not producing it currently. I want something like this for DND. Any recommendations?

If I had more friends to play with irl I'd buy this in a heartbeat

Not gonna lie, the water bit stressed me out so much! Can't wait for the in-person BGC sessions!

Brb checking out Adams gaming playlists on Spotify

12:50 ah with this studio being made, that means no more cameo/run ins by Terry during BotCT or other games

I want one. I'll never own one but I want one. I don't play enough board games (or have enough money to buy one) but I want one so badly. Board game tables fascinate me especially the modulation aspect. I'm gonna be spending the rest of my day fantasising about turning my tiny flat into a board game table room.

This is a VERY Hopeful and Optimistic Review considering the return of the lockdown due to Delta among other Couf variants we have to put up with I'm down for it just be aware it may not be actually USED for a good long while

Damn that is so cool!!!

I think waterproof top means that the wood won’t get destroyed if you spill on it, not that it will protect the bottom table. I’m not sure though, I just took it as the wood wouldn’t get warped if you spilled something on it

Thank christ you plugged your phone in, Adam... xD

We need the return of Golden Joe!!

Wake up babe new No Rolls Barred just dropped

Now I want a no rolls barred rpg game

ay but real talk, whats that closing song cause it SLAPS

This channel is turning into a table channel.
