Rathskellers Phalanx Board Game Table Review by Man Vs Meeple 

I’m not really certain, but it’s a light grey. Sorry, we don’t have the details.

Keyser Soze I'd recommend the Councilor table for you. www.rathskellers.com/pages/the-councilor-game-room-dining-table-for-board-games/

To me felt more like a sheer advertisment

or rustic oak? and maybe you also have the stain #? I also have to decide for my table soon.

1700 is the base price without shipping, vat, led, and all other extras

That's why we prefaced it. We looked at dozens of tables before deciding on one for our channel, this was the best option, color and size for our needs as a board game channel. We never said it's the "best table in the world", if you had watched the review I am fairly certain you wouldn't have missed that.

Get that logic outta here MvM!

Love the show. You guys do great content showcasing games. However, you can't be objective about this table. I assume it was shipped free of charge. If this assumption is incorrect, my apologies. If somebody shipped me a large screen tv free of charge, I would rave about it even if I firmly believed better versions existed on the market.

That's odd. I got a free smart TV scott free, shipping and all. And it's a piece of poo. I don't think you can question someone's motives or bias without being able to mind read. I think video after video we see these guys put out content that they are genuinely excited to cover, be a part of or be involved with. If you have met with them in person they exude passion and to suggest their review of a table is good because it's free is ridiculous. I don't know any reviewer in any field that purchases the things they review. I have seen free movies as well I have reviewed unfavorably. When the job is to review, you take it seriously and approach it ethically. These guys do that even here with both the disclaimer and the manner it's presented. The video didn't say get a second mortgage to afford one. It said it's a great table. If you can afford it, cool, if not, then just look at the table and marvel at the craftsmanship :D

Full Disclosure : We attended Gen-Con last year as visitors having 2 of our tables showcased there @ the Bezier Games & Dice Tower Booth. Jeremy & David reached out to us about the possibility of getting a table made and shipped from Greece for their new Set and Series. We (knowing the quality of their show and their ethics) agreed and offered a discount in exchange for a honest "Warts and all" review. After the end of the Convention, and because of the fact that they wanted the table shipped faster than our usual lead times we called them and offered the Demo Table as a donation. We weren't selling Demo Tables at that time and we had to return the table back to Greece for the next show. Having MvM so close in proximity from GenCon (they are based in Indianapolis), we called them and after renting a truck we (The Founders of Rathskellers) delivered the table and assembled it inside their studio. It was an amazing experience getting to know them, sharing thoughts and exchanging ideas. You can find various reviews from clients and friends all across the globe on-line sharing their thoughts, experience and opinion from ordering to receiving a table from us. We are gamers like you and we hope this translates to all of our tables and products
