Most tables I have seen are either round or square with rounded corners, I think if you went with the round table, your buddies could easily sneak a peak at your cards so go with a square table. Next maybe have green felt material on top of the table, with a lip or raised edge that goes around the outside of the table. You could easily use a router to make some interesting design. Then use a lathe to make the neck of the table and legs.
You should also consider how you want to store your table when it is not in use, maybe the legs fold in or the table can be dissassembled and put together without any hassle. Or the table can convert into a small coffee table or tv tray.
