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.
Inaugural Reviewapalooza – Welcome to our first ever Reviewapalooza. This is replacing our usual end of month AMA live Q&A with our chatroom. In this review filled episode we are going to be looking at one RPG, Runaway Hirelings, and four board games including, Breakdancing Meeples, Talisman Batman Super-Villains Edition, Roll for Lasers and EXIT The Haunted Roller Coaster. In addition, during the Bellhop’s Tabletop Segment we continue our playthrough of the Pathfinder Adventure Cards Game Core Set and play some more Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion.
