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’ve got a question from someone who’s looking to fill their gaming shelf with some new games and we’re going to see what we can fit into one kallax cube with a focus on games for the whole family. Along with this we will be reviewing Space Base: The Emergence of Shy Pluto and we’ve got some actual physical game plays to talk about in our week in review.

—Ask The Bellhop— [00:05:47]
“I’d like to pick up some games that are new to me, but I want to do it unobtrusively so that I don’t have to earmark new space for it. If you had a defined space – say something like a 12 inch or 18 inch cube – that you wanted to stay within, what games would earn their place in that limited space? Bonus points if you have some family games (say appropriate for age 10+) within your list.”
