— The Bellhop’s Tabletop: What we’ve been playing — [00:20:19]
— Review of: Person Do Thing — [00:37:44]
A refreshing party game where one player, the Say Person tries to get the other players to guess a target word using a very limited vocabulary. Some folks are calling it reverse Taboo.

— Review of Pizza Roles — [00:47:13]
Someone made a game out of trying to order pizza for game night. Pizza Roles is a filler hidden role game that’s better the more you put into it.

— Review of The Vibe — [00:55:00]
Take five pieces of artwork and five themes. Pick a theme and organize the artwork based on how well it fits that theme. The other players then have to guess the theme. It’s that simple.
