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 talk about board games with strong RPG elements, giving our recommendations for board games that provide more roleplaying than your average dungeon crawler. To go along with that topic, we will be reviewing Adventure Party The Roleplaying Party Game from Smirk And Dagger.
