Who doesn’t love board games? Find 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 host a live AMA with topics including our top games ranked worse than 1k on BGG, sports themed board games, game mastery, and card game copyright. After that we’ve got a review of Gunkimono from Renegade Games. Plus we talk about the games we played while Sean was down from Hamilton, take an early look at the Master’s Toolkit Virtual Tabletop and share our first thoughts on The Ghosts Betwixt.
Episode 180 recorded July 20th 2022. Join us Wednesday at Nine PM Eastern at https://www.twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop.
