As we wrap up this rather interesting year, I thought it would be a good time to look back and list off some of our best board game discoveries of 2020.
2020s Best - The best board games and RPGs we played for the first time in 2020. Reviews of Knot Dice Squared and Back to the Future Dice Through Time. Also, some virtual gaming, more Knot Dice and another book of Hogwarts Battle completed.
End of Summer AMA, Tabletop Transitions. Discussion topics include going back to earlier editions of D&D for players who really like min/maxing, transitioning from competitive games to cooperative ones, swapping from blogging to podcasting, RPG systems we did not enjoy, the shift to online gaming, and success in content creation. Sticking with the theme we take a looking back at Azul Summer Pavilion and look forward to the spooky season with a review of Scooby-Doo! Escape from the Haunted Roller Coaster. Finally some early and disappointing thoughts on CO2 Second Chance and Watergate. I also got a chance to play Welly Can Land a rather amusing beer-based board game and Unlabeled another beer-based game we recently reviewed.
Here at Tabletop Bellhop, we are huge fans and advocates for the tile drafting game Azul. Since the original Azul came out, and became one of our favourite gateway games, we've been keeping up with each new release in the series. Azul Summer Pavilion is the third game with the Azul name and it might be the best yet.
Today we've got someone who's looking for short, simple to learn two-player boardgames.
