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.
Since we last recorded a podcast we’ve hosted two public play game nights here in Windsor and got in plenty of holiday gaming, so tonight we’re going to share our thoughts on a number of games, many that were new to us. We follow that up with two detailed reviews, a super popular trick-taker in Skull King and I’ve got a pack of mystery dice from Mystery dice goblin that I’m going to open up live.
Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast Episode 263 was recorded on January 8th, 2024. Join us as we record live on Wednesdays at 8 PM EST at https://www.twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop

— A Word From Our Sponsor, Grand Gamers Guild —
We’ve recently been exploring The Artemis Odyssey, a re-theme of the sci-fi resource management, engine building game Ad Astra.
The Deluxe Version is only available direct from Grand Gamers Guild and Marc has warned us that he’s running out of copies after the holiday rush, with no current plans for a second printing.
You can always save 10% at Grand Gamers Guild where you use our code BELLHOP!
You should probably also check out our review of The Artemis Project, a dice placement game set in the Artemis Universe.
— Skull King Review — [00:58:03]
Every time we review a trick-taker someone asks us to compare it to Skull King, and now we can. Skull King is one of the most well regarded card games out there and for good reason.
- Pick up Skull King at Amazon US, Canada or UK
- Check out the Grandpa Beck’s Games store on Amazon US
- We love trick taking games, check out our other card game reviews.
— Mystery Dice from Mystery Dice Goblin Review — [01:11:51]
Mystery Dice Goblin is a UK dice and gaming accessory store that reached out and asked us to review some of their dice. So we checked out three packs of Mystery Dice.
