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.
A look back at the past year; our most played games, new to us games, biggest surprises, disappointments, and more. We also review two puzzle boxes from Escape Welt and wrap up with our usual Bellhop’s Tabletop segment with a frustrating Christmas Eve, a classic game play for Sean, & more.
EDIT: In regards to the Escape Welt Review in this episode:
In the original review, I thought that my copy of The House of the Dragon included a spelling error, information I had heard from another reviewer. I have since learned that this production issue has been fixed by Escape Welt, and that both my copy and all future copies have been corrected.
I apologize to our readers/listeners and to Escape Welt for not double checking my copy of the puzzle and for including incorrect information in the original review.
