A card table is a small, portable table specifically designed for playing card games. Typically square or rectangular, it provides a flat surface for players to lay out cards and game pieces. Card tables are often lightweight and can be easily folded for storage, making them convenient for gatherings and events. These tables are usually made from materials like wood, plastic, or metal, and may feature a padded surface for comfort. Many card tables come with a cloth covering to enhance the playing experience. They are commonly used for games such as poker, bridge, and rummy.
