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.
Topics include a discussion on playtesting and prototyping games, we go deep with what board games we are, gaming pet peeves, why Moe doesn’t play RPGs online, do people take the time to master games anymore, do you keep playing solved games, and more. Also a review of Robotech Invid Invasion, the best Robotech board game so far.
