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 games that we keep for other people to play. After that we’ve got two puzzle game reviews, first up the Space Box from Escape Welt and then La Famiglia from Puzzling Pursuits. We wrap up with my first thoughts on Siege of Valeria from Daily Magic Games, the first solo Valeria game.
