Best Multi Game Table: Everything You Need To Know Before Buying

Multi game tables are essential to any man cave. In fact, you can’t say your setup is complete until you have one. Sure, you can get by if you don’t, but you won’t realize how much space you’re wasting–not to mention missing out on the convenience of having access to multiple table games. 

The need for a multi game table comes from three things: lack of space, money and boredom. We have reviewed the three best multi-game tables and why every man that’s serious about his cave should have one.  

Why Buy a Multi Game Table?

Takes Up Less Space

A multi game table is often the crowning jewel to the room, being both appealing and functional. Having multiple tables does take up a lot of space. So instead of doing this, some men just own the one table. But this isn’t great either. There’s nothing worse than coming home with a desire to smash out a game of table hockey and all you’ve got is your single game table of foosball clogging up the corner of your room. It takes up a bunch of precious space… space you could have occupied with bowling, table tennis, billiards, or air hockey. The best part is knowing it’s all contained in the same four sides as a single one game table.

Saves You Money 

Getting your hands on your own multi-game table is the best way to save money. This leaves more cash left over to spend on more important things, like beer and a good steak sandwich. There would be no need to waste money on multiple one-game tables when you can get it all with one multi-game table. 

Kills Boredom

It’s easy to get bored when you play the same game over and over–that’s something we’re sure everyone has experienced.  And if you decide that you’re happy just owning a one-game table, think about what you’re missing out on. All of us tire of doing the same thing over and over–heck, that’s what makes work so boring! You don’t want to come home from doing the same thing over and over just to come home and relax by playing the same game over and over. Change things up a bit and kill that boredom.

Types of Multi-Game Tables

Now let’s get down to the nitty-gritty details – the stuff you’ll want to know before buying one. You need to decide which one you want, and what suits your space the best. There are three main types, and each has their merits.

Convertible

This is a table with a stationary base, so you must sit the new game boards on top. This is a good idea if you don’t want to be messing around with too many moving parts, and it’s very stable. However, you may have multiple boards that you will need to store away. But this shouldn’t be a problem as some tables have compartments for this.

Flip Top

This does not have a stationary base, but one board that you can swivel. It has a game on either side, making for an easy switch. It also saves space as it has only one board. This may be preferable to a convertible, but just be aware that you will only have the two games.

Hybrid

This table has a base that rotates like a flip top, but it also has additional pieces that can be added. Common games include table hockey, foosball and billiards. These are often 3-in-1 or 4-in-1.

What to look for in an ideal Multi Game Table 

Now that you’re ready to look for a multi game table, remember not to go cheap. There’s nothing worse than spending your money on something with a weak structure and thin wood. When it comes to tables, you want something to last and look impressive, even if that means parting with a few extra dollars. 

Also, you don’t want to be explaining to your mates when they come over for Friday games night why the board is sagging a little in the middle, or why the painted lines on table tennis is flaking off. Nobody wants that. So just deal with the fact you will have to spend more and do it properly.

Final Thoughts

By now you will understand why a multi game table is not just important, but essential to your space. Whether that’s a man cave, gaming room, or a little corner of your living room. No matter where you go to take time out with friends, these will never fail to give you the enjoyment you deserve. If you only need a single game table like pool, foosball or air hockey then you will be better off buying these separately as you’ll get a better game than a multi game table. But if want more than one game then there are plenty of options.
