Love board games? Let’s talk boardgames, lots of board gaming (and a few RPGs). Tabletop Bellhop, your cardboard concierge, is here to answer your gaming and game night questions, helping you make your game nights better with tabletop game reviews and advice.
You, me, and Monopoly also an AMA – We highlight the 5 best Monopoly games. That is followed by a short AMA where we discuss the definition of a game and games without win conditions, fantasy House on the Hill alternatives, online board gaming, and two player legacy games other than Gloomhaven. We also have a re-review of the classic dice game Quarriors! And Sean talks about a frustrating game of Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle with the Monster Book of Monsters expansion.
This is an edited version of our live show recorded on April 1st 2020.
