You should probably ask on a boardgame community, this is way too specific of a question for this one (and it's not what anyone might think of as a "stupid" question)
So you're saying it's a stupid question to ask in "no stupid questions"?
Making a suggestion for a better place to ask might actually be a great answer for OP. Using this comm to ask as a "see what sticks" and then use more directed suggestions seems like a good reason to post here.
I think both OP and you are on the right track.
I feel like this community is just asklemmy2 most of the time. The spirit of the subreddit it's "based" on was "questions that make you feel stupid for having to ask" but most of what gets posted here are just.... questions.
Sorry I feel like I'm doing a really bad job expression my thoughts on this but hopefully the jist gets across
Oh definitely, I get you. And I agree sometimes.
I was just thinking of it in a positive way. Idk maybe OP felt dumb for not knowing where to ask?
Hate to break it to you, but, if you think the stupid questions are just regular questions...
I'm just kidding. I thought it was funny
While that's true, I do think that you get a decent number of questions on here that people might not be confident enough to ask on AskLemmy, so it still serves its purpose in that sense.
I definitely agree- this isn't 'nostupidquestions' it's just 'random questions'. Maybe the mods should be a bit more strict and redirect people to an asklemmy community? idk if that exists, though, which is possibly part of the problem.
It does exist because every major subreddit got a cheap lemmy copy
I made my own using a coffee table as a base. Look for mahjong mats as a topper, they're the same material as mouse pads but giant. Moving game pieces around on one is an absolute delight.
While not exactly what you're looking for, I thought the idea might inspire you somewhat.
I present to you Simone Giertz retractable puzzle table.
Edit: as to what to look out for.. As long as you're specific about wants and needs for the table, there shouldn't be any issues. Shopping around for materials both wood and otherwise are going to be something you'll want to source yourself. Provide some decent plans and be abundantly clear on the usage and intention of the table.
And if you're going to have the dining top be a monolithic slab of material, make sure one person can reasonably lift it. Don't go grabbing some dense hardwood and making that thing a beast to remove.
On ours, the toppers on each end have 2 rubber stoppers on the bottom so that the top won't just slide off the table. I believe they're also magnetized.
Make sure you have enough clearance for any items you want to store in the table, and that they won't intersect with the stoppers if you add those.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
