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.
With a lot going on in both our lives we decided to host an AMA for this episode. Topics include gaming surprises, weird games, milestone games, stand out gaming moments, shortcuts in board games, culling our board game collections and more.
We also review the King Size Majestic Wolf puzzle from Unidragon, and share our first thoughts on WWE Superstar Showdown, Dune Imperium and Scorpius Freighter.
