Does anyone have a recommendation for a table topper? (self.boardgames)

I'm looking for something can put on top of an existing table that would turn it into a nice surface to play a boardgame on? I've looked and I see a lot of poker table toppers, but not as much stuff for general purpose boardgaming.

We use about 2 square metres of thick orange felt. Folded in half and onto the table.

Makes picking up cards easy, and also gives silent dice rolls.

Doesn't look professional, but we play with friends and family, so it's perfect.

Was a leftover from a Book Week Lorax costume. Get some off the bolt at any fabric shop.

Yeah, this is what we do too. We also use these IKEA coasters as cheap trays for the bits & bobs: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/ikea-365-coaster-cork-30282946/

I’d like to have a proper gaming table but can’t justify the expense.

Those coasters are genius!
