100% I'm in, this is the table I'm buying. I have a square 11ft by 11ft dining room. The rectangular tables never quite work in that space, but this will be perfect. It will even work with your newly redesigned tablecloth holders since they are no longer sewn in! Hype levels over 9000.

My well-educated guess is around 193 tiles if they are stacked on top to fill the whole table, but if you were to stack them it would be around 1,544 tiles give or take 20 tiles
You guys should do how many standard 20-sided dice would fit into it if you are making the comparison to a large party tray! Much harder to guess than tile count
There it is. Now there is a wyrmwood product I’ll buy. Time to measure and how the size fits my square gaming room. If it fits, then this guy is buying a table and a bunch of accessories next year. Hopefully the vault bottom is super strong and biscuit jointed so it doesn’t flex. The well should be as rigid as the toppers. Only other asks is, if possible can there be some sizing options on the hex in say -2 or -4 inches. Because these sorts of tables tend to be ones you want to get just as big as possible to still be able to pull the chairs out without hitting the walls with the chairs. In my room I think 48” edge to edge is the limit. I’d hate to have to pass on this just because it’s 6” too wide. I’d gladly pay an extra sizing fee to have the table downsized to 48”. Though I need to measure more precisely to be sure of the length. The distance between walls at the narrowest place is 112” , which is where I’ll place the corners so the chairs will pull back at angles to the walls. Put just the 6 chairs in at maximum back position an inch from the wall and measured the distance between opposite seats accounting for enough space to be able to get one’s legs in, so the max size for a squeeze ( no idea if the person on the back corner may be trapped by others in chairs ) and the max extent the room can accommodate is 58” at most. So from my end a 54” flat side to flat side hexagon is a doable size. Still for others a 48” version might be with doing a survey for. We definitely want the largest size that will fit the room so do indeed do a 52-54 sized version (flat to flat).
With simple math maybe I can find a good answer. Assuming 1 vault side of the hex table is 36 in (interior of the normal table side). That area is 3,367 in². The area of a 2.25 in sided tile is 13.153 in². 3367 / 13.153 = 255.987. So minus 32 for missing gaps that will need to occur around the edges gives us around 223.987 round down (for Price Is Right rules) is 223 for the bottom row. If you just do the bottom row, that is my guess. If you fill the whole vault, there would be 4.5 / 0.625 = 7.2 ~ 7 rows. 223 * 7 = 1561. tl;dr bottom level guess: 223 filled guess: 1561
Didn't think I needed this until I saw it. Great design and seems like a good size. For both eating and gaming. It feels like gathering around something. Beeing able to reach the middle is great for gaming, but also everyone beeing able to look at one another without looking past someone is nice especially for commucative and cooperative games. More than one round of hidden role game failed for me because players couldn't really see each other on a long table. Does the game deck fit onto one of the sides? That would be nice for DMing. My random guess is 433 tabletop tiles.
I love this table, I already have a giant German crafted table for my dinning room this makes total sense for my den. We play mostly card style games and the form factor would work so well for us, I am beyond excited.
52-54” flat edge to flat edge is definite gold. I’m in. The well base needs to be rock solid to not flex under a load of heavy ceramic poker chips. And of course a dark green speed felt liner would be awesome. The accessories of cups (whiskey glasses and water bottles ) are the required accessories. Poker chip storage via something that clamps the rails - maybe one of the existing trays already works. - 100chip count capacity would be minimum size. Finally - bolt on UNDER TABLE storage shelf to allow us to store then rail accessories like cup holders and chip / bits trays , etc. would be awesome. That keeps all the bits at the table. Final customization ask - as a paid personalization. If we send im out own crest or logo, having that placed on the rails in color inlay on the rails would be a super perk - knowing such a bespoke service would not be cheap. I’m in on a prophecy level for the hex as well.
The hex table is going to be insanely popular. Also, it was nice seeing Ian at the center of the episode. I'm guessing that 1352 tiles can fit in the table.
Part of me would love to see this on a more central pillar. Not sure if the elegance comes across with all of those legs in each corner, and you definitely limit the table to 6 people max, but I bet it'll look so much better with some in-context room shots.
I did the math but still could be wrong. It would be 140 tiles in a single layer inside the vault or 980 to fill the vault without going over if they are not stacking or putting them in a weird way. They could put an additional 24 tiles if they turned them sideways and placed them within the awkward gaps that it would leave. So in total the max that could go inside of the table is 1004.
Alright I did the dumb amount of math first thing after a night of drinking, so here I am to flex my dumb grad school brain. Assuming the length of the edges of the table are about 4 inches, the length of the inner table is 46 inches (since it was stated to be 54). A basic hexagon calculator shows the sides to then be of 26.56 length. Based off of some reviews of the tabletop tables online, the length of those tiles are 3.88 inches. This results in about 6 tiles can fit into one side. Assuming regular hexagon shape (because why wouldn't it be), one can use the formula of (ab+bc+ca)-(a+b+c)+1 to calculate how many hexagons are contained within an area if one knows the number of hexagons on each side (source from a stack exchange forum for a codeforces puzzle). This results in a singular layer of 91 tiles. Now things get gross because I can't actually find a confident answer on the thickness of the hex tiles before I actually have to go get some work done today/the depth of the inner modular table. Based off the review by BleedingCool, their image implies that 4 layers can fit into the table, which means 364 tiles would fit. HOWEVER. A standard coffee mug fit under the table with no issues, except what is standard? Based off of how it is held, it seems to imply it's a 11 oz coffee mug which means a depth of 3.74 inches. Using the measurement of a party rolling tray which is 1.4 inches and fits 2 tiles, this means 5 layers can fit which means 455 tiles could fit under the table toppers. If the mug is a 15 oz coffee mug cause apparently people at wyrmwood could have big hands, the depth of 4.49 inches can hold six layers which means 546 tiles could fit under the table toppers. Now the issue for this competition is that if my vaguely hungover self can figure this out, there's going to be at least a couple other people capable of calculating out these numbers and probably at least a few people who see the people doing the math and just copy it. I listed my assumptions which is a given in engineering, and considering I am doing my PhD at Jason's Alma Mater (apparently according to linkedin, I didn't even intentionally look for this, I was just jokingly going to see if a job was posted because grad school sucks and it showed Jason as having a connection lol), choose me pls. I'm just a poor graduate student doing magically mysterious things, and won't you toss a coin to your practically-an-indentured-servant-in-the-modern-world? Oh wyrmwood of plenty?
Yep. I got tavern elm and now it's gone. Which sucks. I don't want mixed woods. Guess I'm not buying anything. Tyvm guys. So much for heirloom future compatibility.
This looks really nice for a complementary table ! I still thing nothing beats a good old rectangle when w're talking about a family dinner table but if I had the space, I would add this one to my living room specificaly to play games ! Shame I don't have it and shame I'm in Europe ! :D
I found this video amusing as I already have a hexagonal table at home. It is for playing bumper pool and comes with a solid top. The top can be turned over to play poker (it comes with the lining and spaces for all the chips). But I've never seen another game table that is hexagonal. As far as a table goes, it is great for board games! We've done Munchkins, Ticket to Ride, Scrabble, Risk, Monopoly, Go Fish, Dutch Blitz, and so many other games on it. Everyone has equal space for their drinks or playing pieces and the draw pile for card based games is always in the middle and easy to reach from anywhere. So it's a great idea and I'd love to see the final product that you guys create! ❤️
This could be their best selling table yet as the price size and form factor matches a lot of people who wanted a table but for one of those reasons didn't get the last ones
Hexagon makes a lot of sense for tabletop games, equal reach is a killer feature. As a guy from country you dont ship to, I'm off to steal your design, and make me one myself)
I'm a math teacher from NY, I accept your challenge and think the answer should be 231 tiles in a layer, 7 layers (which comes out to 1617 tiles total) 😘 I see a lot of other good guesses, but I think 1617 is the right answer.
121 tiles per layer (with a slight angle), you could probably do 6 layers deep to get 726 and still get the topper on if all the tiles had near 0mil tolerances.
I love it. I want one. I don't have a room for it. I feel like it'll fit in a lot less rooms than a traditional rectangle, just based on how homes are built. I think it has a chance to under perform expectations just due to size. I hope I'm wrong, it's awesome.
fellas and ladies, i think i have this in the bag: if they go 7 layers deep, depending on the starting orientation, i could see there being somewhere around ~896 one direction and ~931 in the other. if you're playing "closest without going over rules, i'll stick with my 896 number. if you do 6 layers, i'll say ~768 good luck, all, but i'm looking forward to my table :D
I'm pretty sure you can fit 651 hex tiles in there, if you're actually asking for guesses. (This is filling as high as you can, past the accessory line, for 7 layers of 91 tiles per layer.)
The Hexy Table looks fantastic! I prefer it over the rectangular tables. My guess for how many tiles is 196 if it's just one layer, but completely filling up the table is 1,568.
Just provide a different foam insert for the topper block to match the weird size then you’d only have to fix one smaller problem. I think it would be cool if the topper also allowed for modular expansion, maybe only do the hex shape on the sides and allow for a longer table?
207 tiles if its a single layer, assuming it'd take 3 or 6 layers to fill it depending on if it's the standard or war gaming depth, that'd be 621 or 1242 hex tiles to fill it. Maybe.
Assuming it's 55x 65 in like they said near the start of the video then that's about 24 the long way and 16 the short way so I would guess about 400 on a single layer and if it's roughly as high as a party tray I would say 5,500 would be around max before it could not hold any more table top tiles
I believe that a single layer of hex tabletop tiles flat at the bottom of the Hex modular gaming table would be 121 tiles. If 6 layers of these if inside, that would be 726 tiles!
The fact that people can probably math the table and trays to get an exact number may not have occurred to them when they came up with that giveaway idea. It should be fun to see how that plays out.
I recon you can get 111 flat, and to fill the table to the brim without going past it I recon it is an 8 stack, so total number of tiles to fit completely flush without going over the lip is 888, if they are laid flat in a similar way to the party tray.
You guys are forgetting Magic the Gathering. I have a huge, long, rectangular dinning room table. But when my sons visit to play MtG they always pull all the leaves out so every chair can reach the center. Nevermind... I think you guys got this.
The table looks great, and I'm very excited for the launch of MGT 2.0. I'm pretty sure the vault will fit 889 hex tiles - 127 per layer, 7 layers deep. That will cover the interior magnetic rails I think, but the topper should still be able to go on.
Since it uses all the same things, once you get the legs designed couldn't you use like the medium/large side rails to make a *very large* hexagonal table? Cmon Ed I wanna see it!
I really like it, it would work for my kitchen but I play some large games and don't think it's right for me, the groups I play with and some of the games we play. Leaning hard towards the standard table for now. Will need to see some large games on it for the KS launch.
What if you took an end piece topper block and added something on the under side so that it would click in on the outside edge of the table or click into the inside edge. As long as it is stable hanging over the outside edge of the table, we’re good. Someone could then use this as a GM shelf and maybe still allow the other sides to use player desks? It could just be an attachment for the underside of the topper block without having to create a completely new accessory. Less expensive too.
My bet is 217 per layer and 1519 filled. Going by the prices on the site, that would be a value of between $45,570 and $159,495 not including the table. Helluva giveaway! Wouldn't be surprised if they decide to go single layer. 217 tiles would be far more than enough for a single gaming group.
my guess would be 840 up to the rail mount or 1200 up to the topper. I think it would depend on where you end the layers (up to the rail mount or beyond it to the topper) and whether or not you put 1 or more party trays in the table as well :/ if so it is really hard to guess as the party tray(s) exterior would eat up some space. Love the new table
Happy Friday all! I completely agree with Crazy Ed. The aesthetics of this table are excellent. Also, my guess is 129 tiles can fit in a single layer on that surface.
I agree that the round top is no good. I do love the hex table though. Not sure which I would get simply because I’m living with my mom and need to get back to having my own place first. As for how many tabletop tiles you can fit… the party tray holds 7/layer and 2 layers. With the dimensions given in the video, you can fit about 7.5 party trays along the long side. I’m going to guess 3 party trays high. That is about 32 party trays a layer for a total of 96 party trays. I’m going to drop it to 93 as my final guess for the party trays due to some inefficiencies in spacing due to the table not being designed to perfectly fit a certain number of trays and the math looking to be on the smaller side of my numbers. For the actual tiles, I’m going with 1884. This is lying completely flat. You can probably fit more in by putting them sideways.
I'm guessing you'll fit in 264 if you go up to (but not covering) the mag rail. If you go past the mag rail and still fit underneath a topper, it'll be 396. Awesome video, btw!!
hex party tray is 14" wide. can fit 3 wide. each hex should be 4 2/3" area of a hex is A=1/2*P*a doing math area of hex tile is 18.860sq inches. using same math assuming that the internal dimension of the hexy table is 4 inches smaller for the inner vault makes it a 50" side to side. but you can have only 10 fit side to side. making it only capable of using 46.666" side to side. so it would be 100 per layer. inervault depth is 4.5" I'm only guessing that hexy is 3/4" tall. so should stack 6 i messed up my math in perfect world 100 would be the squareinch coverage but hexy leave gaps. 78 per layer 468 using 4 3/4" you need to expand the corner to corner to 53.885 for that perfect fit you can fit 91 per layer. but as of now 78 per layer 468 stacked 6 high.
Nice! Beats the Hex design from three years ago. My guess is going to be 1528 tiles to fill the table to the top. If you want a single layer 382 tiles.
I don't expect the table giveaway will actually be a thing, but the challenge is too intriguing to pass up. I'd have to guess 132 tiles per layer, 924 tiles total in 7 layers. I think each side will be just a little bit small for 5 tiles along the outside with 4 in the spaces, so you'll have to end up going 4 tiles along each edge, with 3 in the spaces +1 hanging over, giving you a slightly odd tiling where 3 of the points come to a nice point, and the other 3 are flattened off a bit
If you rotate and put the points of the tiles along the inside edge of the vault, you don't get the odd shape, but you end up with a bit more wasted space, so over all fewer tiles: 7 along each side, for 127 per layer, and 889 tiles total in 7 layers.
I really like the ROUND table top! Make's it great for extended family meals (seats 10-12) and then once the in-laws/elderly leave you can have a more intimate fun time for poker/cards/board gamers. Accessories aren't needed for meal time. I understand how the New England crowd isn't interested in it but I do think there would be a market for the larger round top with lazy susan's. There's a reason the Pennsylvania guys came up this as people with larger families/homesteads would be more interested in.

This looks Great! Being equidistant from the center is really usefull for a lot of games. Also, my guess for the volume of hexy tiles, filled to the top, is 2,490
Guessing 868 tiles can fit stacked to the brim, assuming the armrest width and vault depth is the same as MGT and the tiles are only allowed to be laid flat
Thought on the toppers for this. There are 6 sides, but only two are clean to lift. Making it so every side can lift seems insane. However, a mark of some sort that makes it easier to intuitively tell what two sides are the lift sides is worth a consideration. "Norman Doors" sorta thought.
I have no idea how many tiles you could fit in there, I just know that I WANT THAT TABLE!!! They say available first quarter of 2023….. I need a price so I can save up for it!
@@hjewkes Ah, good point. Didn't think of that. Was only thinking of them linked flat. Using the same method as before, if they were to put them down the side, they can fit a stack 1 thick on 3 edges. An additional 24 tiles if corner to corner or 28 tiles if edge to edge. Updating to 1207 if the gap along the edge is filled with tiles corner to corner, or 1211 if the gap along the edge is filled with tiles edge to edge.

Part of me would love to see this on a more central pillar. Not sure if the elegance comes across with all of those legs in each corner, and you definitely limit the table to 6 people max, but I bet it'll look so much better with some in-context room shots.
HexTech is the way of the future lol
121 Hexy Tiles if it is 1 flat layer, 847 if you fill with flats tiles, 864 if you include additional tiles on edges to fill the gaps
I did the math but still could be wrong. It would be 140 tiles in a single layer inside the vault or 980 to fill the vault without going over if they are not stacking or putting them in a weird way. They could put an additional 24 tiles if they turned them sideways and placed them within the awkward gaps that it would leave. So in total the max that could go inside of the table is 1004.
Alright I did the dumb amount of math first thing after a night of drinking, so here I am to flex my dumb grad school brain.
Assuming the length of the edges of the table are about 4 inches, the length of the inner table is 46 inches (since it was stated to be 54). A basic hexagon calculator shows the sides to then be of 26.56 length. Based off of some reviews of the tabletop tables online, the length of those tiles are 3.88 inches. This results in about 6 tiles can fit into one side. Assuming regular hexagon shape (because why wouldn't it be), one can use the formula of (ab+bc+ca)-(a+b+c)+1 to calculate how many hexagons are contained within an area if one knows the number of hexagons on each side (source from a stack exchange forum for a codeforces puzzle). This results in a singular layer of 91 tiles.
Now things get gross because I can't actually find a confident answer on the thickness of the hex tiles before I actually have to go get some work done today/the depth of the inner modular table. Based off the review by BleedingCool, their image implies that 4 layers can fit into the table, which means 364 tiles would fit. HOWEVER. A standard coffee mug fit under the table with no issues, except what is standard? Based off of how it is held, it seems to imply it's a 11 oz coffee mug which means a depth of 3.74 inches. Using the measurement of a party rolling tray which is 1.4 inches and fits 2 tiles, this means 5 layers can fit which means 455 tiles could fit under the table toppers. If the mug is a 15 oz coffee mug cause apparently people at wyrmwood could have big hands, the depth of 4.49 inches can hold six layers which means 546 tiles could fit under the table toppers.
Now the issue for this competition is that if my vaguely hungover self can figure this out, there's going to be at least a couple other people capable of calculating out these numbers and probably at least a few people who see the people doing the math and just copy it. I listed my assumptions which is a given in engineering, and considering I am doing my PhD at Jason's Alma Mater (apparently according to linkedin, I didn't even intentionally look for this, I was just jokingly going to see if a job was posted because grad school sucks and it showed Jason as having a connection lol), choose me pls. I'm just a poor graduate student doing magically mysterious things, and won't you toss a coin to your practically-an-indentured-servant-in-the-modern-world? Oh wyrmwood of plenty?
546 Hex Tiles will fit into the Hex Modular Table if you fill to the brim. 364 if you fill it to the accessory mount line.
Yep. I got tavern elm and now it's gone. Which sucks. I don't want mixed woods.
Guess I'm not buying anything. Tyvm guys. So much for heirloom future compatibility.
This looks really nice for a complementary table ! I still thing nothing beats a good old rectangle when w're talking about a family dinner table but if I had the space, I would add this one to my living room specificaly to play games ! Shame I don't have it and shame I'm in Europe ! :D
A single layer would be 109, and stacked full should be 763!!! Love everything you guys are doing I look forward to every Wednesday and Friday!
Nice job you beat me to it
532 tiles fit with stacking!
Crazy Ed shouts "how's the head" and I hope the reply is "I've had no complaints"
I found this video amusing as I already have a hexagonal table at home. It is for playing bumper pool and comes with a solid top. The top can be turned over to play poker (it comes with the lining and spaces for all the chips). But I've never seen another game table that is hexagonal.
As far as a table goes, it is great for board games! We've done Munchkins, Ticket to Ride, Scrabble, Risk, Monopoly, Go Fish, Dutch Blitz, and so many other games on it. Everyone has equal space for their drinks or playing pieces and the draw pile for card based games is always in the middle and easy to reach from anywhere. So it's a great idea and I'd love to see the final product that you guys create! ❤️
This could be their best selling table yet as the price size and form factor matches a lot of people who wanted a table but for one of those reasons didn't get the last ones
Hexagon makes a lot of sense for tabletop games, equal reach is a killer feature.
As a guy from country you dont ship to, I'm off to steal your design, and make me one myself)
I'm a math teacher from NY, I accept your challenge and think the answer should be 231 tiles in a layer, 7 layers (which comes out to 1617 tiles total) 😘 I see a lot of other good guesses, but I think 1617 is the right answer.
121 tiles per layer (with a slight angle), you could probably do 6 layers deep to get 726 and still get the topper on if all the tiles had near 0mil tolerances.
I love it. I want one. I don't have a room for it.
I feel like it'll fit in a lot less rooms than a traditional rectangle, just based on how homes are built. I think it has a chance to under perform expectations just due to size. I hope I'm wrong, it's awesome.
fellas and ladies, i think i have this in the bag:
if they go 7 layers deep, depending on the starting orientation, i could see there being somewhere around ~896 one direction and ~931 in the other.
if you're playing "closest without going over rules, i'll stick with my 896 number.
if you do 6 layers, i'll say ~768
good luck, all, but i'm looking forward to my table :D
I'm pretty sure you can fit 651 hex tiles in there, if you're actually asking for guesses. (This is filling as high as you can, past the accessory line, for 7 layers of 91 tiles per layer.)
The Hexy Table looks fantastic! I prefer it over the rectangular tables.
My guess for how many tiles is 196 if it's just one layer, but completely filling up the table is 1,568.
Love the table, great size and shape! My guess is 1296 tiles.
The hexagonal table just makes my gears spin 😀 If I wasn't in New Zealand, I'd sell my left kidney for one 🤣
Just provide a different foam insert for the topper block to match the weird size then you’d only have to fix one smaller problem. I think it would be cool if the topper also allowed for modular expansion, maybe only do the hex shape on the sides and allow for a longer table?
207 tiles if its a single layer, assuming it'd take 3 or 6 layers to fill it depending on if it's the standard or war gaming depth, that'd be 621 or 1242 hex tiles to fill it. Maybe.
Assuming it's 55x 65 in like they said near the start of the video then that's about 24 the long way and 16 the short way so I would guess about 400 on a single layer and if it's roughly as high as a party tray I would say 5,500 would be around max before it could not hold any more table top tiles
I believe that a single layer of hex tabletop tiles flat at the bottom of the Hex modular gaming table would be 121 tiles. If 6 layers of these if inside, that would be 726 tiles!
The fact that people can probably math the table and trays to get an exact number may not have occurred to them when they came up with that giveaway idea. It should be fun to see how that plays out.
Please for the love of all that is good have this go straight to the website. As for the hexagons my guess is 2,740 tiles.
I recon you can get 111 flat, and to fill the table to the brim without going past it I recon it is an 8 stack, so total number of tiles to fit completely flush without going over the lip is 888, if they are laid flat in a similar way to the party tray.
its a super sized party tray with legs 😂 amazing, absolutely love it. would fit in way easier into my apartment and would be perfect for poker nights!
Great idea!!
This is potentially one of the most gorgeous things WW has produced
You guys are forgetting Magic the Gathering. I have a huge, long, rectangular dinning room table. But when my sons visit to play MtG they always pull all the leaves out so every chair can reach the center.
Nevermind... I think you guys got this.
Hexagons are the bestagons
366 tiles would fill the vault flush to the top of the arm rail without the topper
With espresso getting sunset, are backers with espresso topper blocks going to be SOL when trying to get a topper block topper?
The table looks great, and I'm very excited for the launch of MGT 2.0.
I'm pretty sure the vault will fit 889 hex tiles - 127 per layer, 7 layers deep. That will cover the interior magnetic rails I think, but the topper should still be able to go on.
Since it uses all the same things, once you get the legs designed couldn't you use like the medium/large side rails to make a *very large* hexagonal table? Cmon Ed I wanna see it!
I really like it, it would work for my kitchen but I play some large games and don't think it's right for me, the groups I play with and some of the games we play. Leaning hard towards the standard table for now. Will need to see some large games on it for the KS launch.
yup. love it. send it over.
What if you took an end piece topper block and added something on the under side so that it would click in on the outside edge of the table or click into the inside edge. As long as it is stable hanging over the outside edge of the table, we’re good.
Someone could then use this as a GM shelf and maybe still allow the other sides to use player desks? It could just be an attachment for the underside of the topper block without having to create a completely new accessory. Less expensive too.
My bet is 217 per layer and 1519 filled. Going by the prices on the site, that would be a value of between $45,570 and $159,495 not including the table. Helluva giveaway! Wouldn't be surprised if they decide to go single layer. 217 tiles would be far more than enough for a single gaming group.
plans on having felt cloth under the topper so you just flip them to have a poker surface to play on
my guess would be 840 up to the rail mount or 1200 up to the topper. I think it would depend on where you end the layers (up to the rail mount or beyond it to the topper) and whether or not you put 1 or more party trays in the table as well :/ if so it is really hard to guess as the party tray(s) exterior would eat up some space. Love the new table
So much secrecy at the start of the video for something that was already revealed in the thumbnail and video title 😂
931 tiles - Assuming standard rail width and tile size, 133 tiles per layer 7 layers to the brim.
Happy Friday all! I completely agree with Crazy Ed. The aesthetics of this table are excellent. Also, my guess is 129 tiles can fit in a single layer on that surface.
I agree that the round top is no good. I do love the hex table though. Not sure which I would get simply because I’m living with my mom and need to get back to having my own place first.
As for how many tabletop tiles you can fit… the party tray holds 7/layer and 2 layers. With the dimensions given in the video, you can fit about 7.5 party trays along the long side. I’m going to guess 3 party trays high.
That is about 32 party trays a layer for a total of 96 party trays. I’m going to drop it to 93 as my final guess for the party trays due to some inefficiencies in spacing due to the table not being designed to perfectly fit a certain number of trays and the math looking to be on the smaller side of my numbers.
For the actual tiles, I’m going with 1884. This is lying completely flat. You can probably fit more in by putting them sideways.
I'm guessing you'll fit in 264 if you go up to (but not covering) the mag rail. If you go past the mag rail and still fit underneath a topper, it'll be 396.
Awesome video, btw!!
hex party tray is 14" wide. can fit 3 wide. each hex should be 4 2/3"
area of a hex is A=1/2*P*a doing math area of hex tile is 18.860sq inches.
using same math assuming that the internal dimension of the hexy table is 4 inches smaller for the inner vault makes it a 50" side to side. but you can have only 10 fit side to side. making it only capable of using 46.666" side to side. so it would be 100 per layer.
inervault depth is 4.5" I'm only guessing that hexy is 3/4" tall. so should stack 6
i messed up my math in perfect world 100 would be the squareinch coverage but hexy leave gaps. 78 per layer 468
using 4 3/4" you need to expand the corner to corner to 53.885 for that perfect fit you can fit 91 per layer.
but as of now 78 per layer 468 stacked 6 high.
That hex table looks really nice and I got a room that it would fit really well in! My guess is 847 tiles to fill the table!
The hex table is a great addition to the line up. I agree, someone is going to cad that up and know exactly how many hex tiles it takes to fill.
You can definitely math it but without knowing the depth of the vault it will be difficult to know how many layers can fit inside.
Nice! Beats the Hex design from three years ago. My guess is going to be 1528 tiles to fill the table to the top. If you want a single layer 382 tiles.
Absolutely love this shape of table, but not stoked about it being another kickstarter. Gonna guess a clean 1,000 tiles.
My guess is 931 tiles! I love my son's Wyrmwood table and would be thrilled to have one of my own!
I don't expect the table giveaway will actually be a thing, but the challenge is too intriguing to pass up. I'd have to guess 132 tiles per layer, 924 tiles total in 7 layers. I think each side will be just a little bit small for 5 tiles along the outside with 4 in the spaces, so you'll have to end up going 4 tiles along each edge, with 3 in the spaces +1 hanging over, giving you a slightly odd tiling where 3 of the points come to a nice point, and the other 3 are flattened off a bit
If you rotate and put the points of the tiles along the inside edge of the vault, you don't get the odd shape, but you end up with a bit more wasted space, so over all fewer tiles: 7 along each side, for 127 per layer, and 889 tiles total in 7 layers.
the sexy hexy table should hold 840 flat stacked hexy tiles. (editing to add that if it's just one layer it is 120 tiles.)
I want one as a forever DM. Rectangles are a bad shape for communications, being equidistant to my players would be GOLD.
612. It really is a gorgeous table.
Hexagons are bestagons.
Unlike the other tables (that I do love), this one is a bit closer to something Id actually utilize/have use for..maybeee.. lol
I really like the ROUND table top! Make's it great for extended family meals (seats 10-12) and then once the in-laws/elderly leave you can have a more intimate fun time for poker/cards/board gamers. Accessories aren't needed for meal time. I understand how the New England crowd isn't interested in it but I do think there would be a market for the larger round top with lazy susan's. There's a reason the Pennsylvania guys came up this as people with larger families/homesteads would be more interested in.

Oh fuck man, the smash bros KO made me laugh so hard.
I think with 7 layers, around 679 total is my guess. I doubt that the tiles angles fit exactly with the shape of the bigger hexagon.
Hexagons are the bestagons.
1092 tiles. Probably 156 per layer. That would a heck of a giveaway
This looks Great! Being equidistant from the center is really usefull for a lot of games. Also, my guess for the volume of hexy tiles, filled to the top, is 2,490
Guessing 868 tiles can fit stacked to the brim, assuming the armrest width and vault depth is the same as MGT and the tiles are only allowed to be laid flat
shot in the dark, 16 stacked, 256 laid out flat in the table itself.
Thought on the toppers for this. There are 6 sides, but only two are clean to lift. Making it so every side can lift seems insane. However, a mark of some sort that makes it easier to intuitively tell what two sides are the lift sides is worth a consideration. "Norman Doors" sorta thought.
Hexagonal coffee table height would be a great option!
Love this thing.
I am going with 127 tiles per layer so 889 with the toppers or 1,016 with no toppers
Could you even lengthen the side rails on one parallel, creating an oval hexagon?
I have no idea how many tiles you could fit in there, I just know that I WANT THAT TABLE!!! They say available first quarter of 2023….. I need a price so I can save up for it!
Check out the latest episode for at least a date!
131 tiles would fit in one layer of the hex table vault, if you filled it 7 layers deep you'd fit 917 tiles
If I had space for it.... Also would it fit a larger game? like TI4 (Twilight Imperium 4th edition) I assume some game trays would be needed.
that is excellent. its aesthetically pleasing, and very functional. i bet theyll sell like crazy
I love Ian, but he was working hard to make that hex segment interesting to watch
Love the hex table. 1183 tiles should fit inside the vault (7 tall,169 per layer); filling it completely and still allowing it to be closed.
*edit was to add how many tiles tall, and how many per layer totaling 1183 tiles if filled completely. (in case edits don't show revisions)
I'm pretty sure this is the right answer. The question is whether they slip some tiles down the edges without stacking them :D
@@hjewkes Ah, good point. Didn't think of that. Was only thinking of them linked flat. Using the same method as before, if they were to put them down the side, they can fit a stack 1 thick on 3 edges. An additional 24 tiles if corner to corner or 28 tiles if edge to edge. Updating to 1207 if the gap along the edge is filled with tiles corner to corner, or 1211 if the gap along the edge is filled with tiles edge to edge.
@@pkripc0rd Bravo for doing the calculation! Thats about $35k worth of tiles you're entitled to lol, time to buy more board games
