Ideas on converting an old folding table into a game table? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hey all,

I've been wanting to host game nights at my place, and was hoping to use an old folding table I have since it fits nearly under my couch (I have a small apartment) and, is cheaper than buying a whole new table.

Of course, I can use the table as-is (it's just a standard folding table after all) but I was hoping I could get some ideas on ways to have it better suit tabletop gaming.

Right now my only idea is to get a neoprene mat for the top, but I don't have any good ideas on how to non-destructively adhere it to the top of the table.

Large neoprene mats are heavy enough stay in place on a table, and I'd just roll it up when you're done. Large mats get expensive, so you might look into just covering a board with felt, it may be cheaper if you have the tools and are handy.
