An article support apparatus facilitates article interaction such as game
play upon an oblong game table. The article or game support apparatus
comprises a support plate, an anchor plate, and an article-positioning
assembly extending therebetween. The article-positioning assembly may
comprise a plate-extending assembly and a plate-rotating assembly. The
plate-extending assembly functions to extend the game support plate away
from the anchor plate. The anchor plate is of sufficient mass to
interface the game support apparatus with a support surface and prevent
the extended game support apparatus from tipping. The support plate
functions to support an interactive article such as a gaming device or a
common board game. The selected gaming device is supportable atop the
game support plate and is thus extendable to separated player stations
about the game support surface. The article or game support apparatus
functions to enable game play in a spaced player setting.
