4 feet by 8 feet. aside from that, whatever materials you wish to use.

my gaming table was made from ply wood, because they already used those dimensions, 4x4 for the legs and 2x4's for the table lips and framing. like a wall frame, the extra 2x4 i had left fit nicely across the table, making it sturdy and structurally sound. I used screws instead of nails to throw it all together. 2 screws per leg through the top of the table, into the 4x4's. screws through the top of the plywood into the 2x4's. 1 scre per side into the lips at the corners of the table into the legs for added rigidity. finally, i stretched and stapled green felt to the inside of the table lips and over the table top, to give it a clean look. i simply went crazy with the stapler, making sure the felt didnt come off. altogether, the materials cost was roughly 60-70 dollars(U.S.). make sure you have a table saw or a LARGE circular saw for the 4x4's and 2x4's. youre gonna want to cut the 4x4's to length cleanly, so that are all the same length and therefore, level with the ground. use long, galvenized screws, no wider than a quarter inch (i suggest a power tool for this, as you are not required to predrill the holes).
