TURN THE TABLES Tables only had one finished side. The other side, less expensive to make, was more rough. When the family was alone, they ate on the rough side to keep the good side nice for company. When company came, the whole top lifted off and was turned to its good side.

It is a card game - played in Agathy Christie novels. It involves changing tables after a certain number of plays .
