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.
Tonight we’re talking about session zero, a popular RPG topic, but tonight we’re looking at applying its principals to a board game group. After that we’ve got a review of Venn, a new party game from The OP and we finish up with our usual week in review where Moe updates everyone on his The Ghosts Betwixt Campaign.
