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.
This episode we share a list of great kids games that experienced gamers will also enjoy. To go with that we review a couple of family friendly games. The first is Wreck Raiders from Kids Table Board Gaming and the second is an abstract strategy game called Zensu from Outset Media. We wrap up with a significant Bellhops Tabletop including Moe’s first thoughts on Holotype, Destinies, and Maglev Metro, Sean’s first plays of Star Trek: Super Skill Pinball, Zensu, Cartographers Heroes and the Star Wars Deck Building game, and both our thoughts on The Stuff of Legend
