Abstract

A foldable table includes a table top, two pairs of boards pivotally secured to a bottom surface of the table top and foldable toward or away from the bottom surface of the table top, and arranged in a parallelogramic structure having four corner areas to receive four brackets. The brackets are secured to the boards, to secure and retain the boards at an open position, and a support device is secured to the brackets. The boards may be folded to a compact folding or storing structure, for allowing the game table to be easily transported by the users, and to be easily assembled together by the users themselves.
