Reverse Engineering: Elements from video games that we would love to see in board games, Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast Episode 178

Reverse Engineering – Elements from video games we would love to see on the tabletop.

We start with a longer than usual suggestion box. Then we’ve got a great question about video game features that we would love to see on our tabletop. After that we review Lost Ruins of Arnak and we wrap up with two player Scythe and even more Rack-O. 

Episode 178 of the Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast, recorded June 29th, 2022. Join us as we stream live every week on Wednesdays at 9:00 PM Eastern on Twitch.
