then router table with roundover bit.
Yeah, I think you could do that easily. You'd want to put some holddowns on it to keep your piece in place.

I was considering a knock down top...one or two piece made from plywood. Two piece would lock together like leaves of a table using this http://www.rockler.com/align-n-lock , but come apart for compact storage. To lock down to the table, I would use toggle clamps like these...http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004JWGYIM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1408050140&sr=1-1
I'm not sure how to protect the felt from getting torn at the joint line, though, while keeping the surface flat.
Rails and arm pads, cup holders, speed felt...the works. I'd probably make it to fit a 6ft buffet table overhanging all sides so no one is stuck with folding legs where their knees should go.
I think that this would be a better use of space than a dedicated gaming table...and there's no way I could convince my wife that I should make a dining room table that doubles for games :(
I'd like to not duplicate anyone's mistakes who's already tried something like this, but maybe I'll be the first.
Get a board with a straight factory edge on it like a sheet of plywood. Get two clamps that you can screw into the plywood like these: POWERTEC 20301 Horizontal Quick-Release Toggle Clamp, 500 lbs Capacity, 225D https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004JWGYIM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_j9fRzbADAJK23. Then, all you do is clamp the wood you want to square up to the plywood, and then run the straight plywood edge along the fence of your table saw. This process will transfer the factory straight edge to your 2x2.
You can easily and safely cross cut on a table saw if you build a panel cutting jig which is just two pieces of plywood with some hardwood runners. Hell get some of these clamps: http://www.amazon.com/POWERTEC-20301-Horizontal-Quick-Release-Capacity/dp/B004JWGYIM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1453850395&sr=8-3&keywords=toggle+clamp
and put it on the fence of the sled and you get a really nice secured hold down. And best of all your work piece is not rubbing against your tabletop at all with really no chance of binding.
