Why we say this

What this recommendation is based on

Large main board, four gallery/player boards, artist and contract displays, tickets, visitors, and money require an extra-large surface.

Planning estimate: The numeric envelope is a conservative layout model for the declared setup. Sources establish identity or setup structure but do not independently measure the full in-play footprint.

Dimensions are planning recommendations for the declared setup, not universal physical minima. Layout, edition, scenario, organizers, helper apps, and expansions can change the result.

Straight answers

The Gallerist table-size FAQ

What size table do I need for The Gallerist?

Use at least 72 × 42 inches for the declared setup. A 84 × 48 inch surface is the more comfortable target.

Will The Gallerist fit on a 5 × 3 foot table?

Not cleanly for the declared setup. You would need to reduce the layout, move components off-table, or use a larger surface.

Will The Gallerist fit on a 6 × 3.5 foot table?

It should fit, although the layout may still feel close.

Does the recommendation include expansions?

Only when the setup line names one. Otherwise, assume the base game and the stated player count.

Thinking about buying?

Check the edition before you order.

Different editions, expansions, inserts, and player aids can change the footprint. Verify the exact version, then return to this page for the setup-size guidance.
