: Ok, here is the deal. I have had my upright pretty much complete for a while. Summer is coming up, and I will have a little free time to tool around on my cab. However, I have been looking at some examples of homemade cocktail cabs, and they look pretty cool. Projects like Markade and such, look relativly easy, and very nice. I was wondering though, how are cocktail cabinets play wise? It has been years since I have played one. I think they would be great for alternating 2-player games, but overall, I'm not sure. I was just wondering what you guys thought. Should I build one, or just focus on the upright? Of course I would keep the upright if I did build a cocktail, but it would be a difficult task to move the U3100 from one to the other. Anyways, any help is much appreciated.


I have a homebuilt cocktail cabinet and I love it. I prefer the cocktail style, it is less obtrusive and seems more condusive to lounging around. Also, playwise is very nice... I like the comfort of sitting and playing a face to face game with an opponent.
