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 tackling a question from a long time fan of the show about games that are best played with the players sitting on the same side of the table. After that we’ve got three reviews, Marrakesh, the Point Salad app, and Cartographers Heroes. We wrap up with thoughts on Holotype, the Chameleon, Dubious and Kiss the Goblin
