A Look Back at Most Played and Best New Games of 2018

by Leave a Comment

First up, happy holidays to everyone reading this. I hope this season has been filled with games and gaming.

With 2018 coming to and end I thought this would be a good time to do a look back at the past year. The way the timing works out we will be recording our last podcast of the year on Boxing Day and that episode will release on New Years Day. So I thought this would make for a great discussion topic for that show.
I'm going to be looking at my most played games of 2018. I will follow that up with a list of some of the best new games of 2018 as well as my biggest surprise of 2018. [ READ MORE ]

What are my top 20 games of all time? – Ask The Bellhop

by Leave a Comment

Pretty much everyone asks,

What are your favourite games?
Since I launched Tabletop Bellhop the question I get asked the most is some variation of this question. What's your favourite deck builder? Do you think Concordia is the best game ever? What's your top 5/10/25? With our 10th episode of Tabletop Bellhop Live coming up this week I thought this would be a good time to finally give an answer to this question.
This is also a follow up to last week, where I talked about my favourite game mechanics. I thought that would lead well into this. [ READ MORE ]

Tabletop Gaming Weekly – July 30th – #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

by Leave a Comment

Tabletop gaming weekly is a long-form version of #WhatDidYouPlayMondays, first started over at Geeky Goodies. Each week I take a look back at my week in gaming.

This past week was pretty solid. I started off the week with more Bruges, we finished off Pandemic Legacy Season 1 and Azul got played as a filler every single game night. There was no FLGS event this week so I hosted a game night at my place where we tried out The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31. [ READ MORE ]
