Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast

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.

Welcome to the second part of our discussion on miniatures in board games. Last week we talked about the pros and cons of miniatures, this week we’re going to be sharing some of our favourite fantasy games with lots of miniatures. After that, we’ve got two unrelated reviews: Tome: The Light Edition and its expansion, another trick-taking game, and then Astra a game about stargazing. We wrap up with another busy week in review including Moe’s first thoughts on Marrakesh.
