/ˈteɪbəlˌsiːdʒ/nounVerified New

Also in: Tischbelagerung (Deutsch) · mesasede (Español) · tablésiege (Français)

The occupation of the dining table by a 1000-piece jigsaw for a duration measured in weeks.

The tablesiege converts family meals into perimeter operations conducted around the half-built castle. Meals migrate to laps; guests eat standing. The siege lifts when the puzzle is done, holds for a day of admiration, and is renewed the following weekend with a new box and the same hostages.

Etym. — table + siege — the dining table, taken and held by a puzzle.
