Title: How much room for Gauntlet?
Post by: drawfull on August 23, 2011, 02:24:01 pm
My Gauntlet is in storage at the moment, and I am trying to position games in my garage.

It's quite tight, and I can find only one place for G. If anyone has the cab, or a similar sized 4-player, how much space do you leave around it?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help

With Player 3 and 4 on the sides, I think I went with about legnth of player's butt jut + about 10 inches on each side. So I probably have about 25" on each side. I am rearanging my 4 player trog cabinet tonight (very similiar to Gauntlet), so I'll try to remember to measure the min. comfortable width.

OK, Did a little measuring. As long as the person playing in position 3 or 4 is not overly big or long forearmed, you can fit at a minimum width of about 16 inches on each side. So I think a Gauntlet cab body is roughly 28 - 29 inches wide, so that would bring the total needed width to about 60 inches to play. For maximum comfort, 20" on each side would be great, and if you got some hefty players, 25" should fit just about any person.
