A '''games table desk''' is an antique [[desk]] form which has a writing surface etched or veneered in the pattern of a given [[board game]].  It also provides sufficient storage space for writing implements and a separate space for storing game accessories such as counters.  It is often called a "games table" or game table, which leads to confusion with pieces of furniture (antique or modern) which are built specifically for gaming only, with no intention or provision for use as a desk.
