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.
Great board games based on history. We have some game suggestions for a historical miniature wargamer looking to broaden their horizons into hobby board games. Sticking with the theme of history we’ve got two Viking themed reviews, Skora and the Hall of Heroes Expansion for Raiders of the North Sea. Finally in our week in review we’ve got first thoughts on both Letter Jam and The Crew with two players.
