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.
With Valentine’s day 2024 right around the corner, we return to one of our most popular topics: two-player games for date nights. In fitting with this theme, we review The Cupid Crisis and Distilled, a game my wife and I first played on a date night. We wrap up talking about the games we’ve been playing lately including our first thoughts on Disney Lorcana, The A.R.T. Project, and more.
This is an edited version of our live show recorded January 10th, 2024.
