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.
We’re keeping it simple, answering a question from someone who’s looking for some super simple board game suggestions.
In addition to easy game recommendations, we will be sharing what we’ve been playing lately, including our first play of Pizza Roles, more thoughts on Sanctuary, and more.
We wrap up with reviews of the rather simple Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game Starter Pack, and deep dive the Sagrada Remastered Edition to let you know what’s changed in this new second edition of the classic dice drafting game.
