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.
In this episode, we share some of our favourite fan-created tabletop accessories. We follow that with talk about the games we’ve been playing like Pirate Tails, Holotype, Gelatinous, Matches and The Artemis Project (with its expansion) plus first thoughts on Kittin and Vinyl Jukebox. Then we’ve got three reviews: Holotype: Mesozoic North America, The A.R.T. Project, and The Satellites and Commanders Expansion for The Artemis Project.
This is an edited version of our live show recorded on April 24, 2024.

—A Word From Our Sponsor, Grand Gamers Guild—
The Bouba Kiki and Stroop Reprint Kickstarter is live, right now!
Bouba Kiki takes the hive mind mechanic of Just One and the storytelling scenarios of The Crew and mashes them into a fun communication party game featuring 6 mini-campaigns of ever-increasing difficulty.
Also included in this kickstarter is a third printing of Stroop, which is also based on a psychological effect, the delay in reaction time caused by conflicting input, for example cards with names of colours that aren’t in the same colour as that name.
