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.
We talk about out of the box games doing something totally different. To go along with that main topic we preview Once Upon a Line, a game that has you scratching off the board like a lottery ticket. We also review Dice Kingdoms of Valeria and follow that with a look at some birthday gaming and first thoughts on Weather Machine.
