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.
We start off with the result of our Extra Life Tabletop Appreciation Weekend charity gaming event. Then we’ve got a question from one of our awesome Patreon patrons looking for games we didn’t find visually appealing but that we loved. After that reviews of the first Unfair Expansion and Guild Master both from Good Games Publishing and then finally a quick list of the games we played during our Extra Life event in our week in review.
