Game Tables to Spend Time With the Kids

Now that school is back in session, you may be noticing that you are spending a little less time with the kids than you were over the summer. For many parents this almost has an empty nest syndrome feeling attached to it that can make them feel like they are losing contact with their children. Maybe it's time to purchase a piece of furniture that can keep the entire family connected. What we're talking about is game tables.

If you haven't seen them before, game tables are just what they sound like; they are tables that are meant to play games on. This can mean a couple of different things. First it can mean tables that have a surface that is conducive to game playing. This could mean that the table has a felt top that is a good location to put cards or other game playing items.

To take this to the next level you may want to look for tables that have a raised edge. This is the next level in game tables and this is something you really want to look for if the games you play have pieces that commonly roll away or are known to fall off the table. Things like dice and marbles can be held to the table if you have a game table with raised edges.

The next level of game tables is to look into tables that are a complete game system. This could be in a more traditional way where they hold older board games or in a more contemporary electronic way.

The most common type of complete game tables is the ones that have one or more board games built into the surface of the table. At the simple end of this spectrum is a table that may have a top that looks like a checkers or chessboard and have a drawer that can hold the pieces to that game. Further up the list are those game tables that have interchangeable tops. This means you can switch out the piece of wood that looks like a checkers table for other game table tops such as a backgammon table, perhaps a Sorry game board or any of a number of other game boards. Additionally these types of tables usually come with all of the pieces for these games stored in the drawers that are built in or even in a compartment below the removable tabletop.

When it comes to the more contemporary game tables, you may be able to find one with any of a number of video games built into the surface. Often these have two player options where each of you sits at an opposite side of the table and are able to play against each other to see who is the champion of the game.

No matter which type of tables you choose, these are a great way to give you and your children more time together as they are a little less focused on family time with the school year underway.
