The Tabletop Bellhop, your cardboard concierge, is here to answer your game and game night questions. We’re striving to make everyone’s gaming experience better, with board game and RPG reviews, and Q&A.
Tonight, we’ve got thirteen narrative/adventure games great for playing with a six year old. After that we deep dive one of those games in our Chronicles of Avel review. We wrap up with our week in review including first plays of Characterstone and the Herb Witches Expansion for The Quacks of Quedlinburg and more thoughts on Lost Ruins of Arnak, Aqualin, Imperial Settlers and more.
