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 highlight some of the best map-making tools that are out there with a focus on free or cheap software. We then review the FS-XIA box insert from Folded Space for Xia Legends of a Drift System and wrap up with our week in review with thoughts on Shy Pluto for Space Base, Villainous at six, Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria and our first play of Viscounts of the West Kingdom.
