Great Board Games to Play When Stuck at Home

March 20, 2020 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

Now and then something comes up where you end up stuck inside with the same group of people for an extended period of time. Bad weather, March Break, work layoffs, etc. When the world conspires to make you stay in, there is no better time to break out some board games.


Playing board games can be a great way to pass the time and to take your mind off of whatever it is that has you stuck at home. Also, to me, having a lot of time on your hands means it's the perfect time to get some of the more difficult to get to the table games played. [ READ MORE ]

Raiders of the North Sea, Sorcerer and Some Digital Board Game Arena Streaming – Tabletop Gaming Weekly

September 2, 2019 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

I only got a couple of physical games to the tablet this week. The first was the fantastic Raiders of the North Sea from Renegade games and the second was a two-player game of Sorcerer from White Wizard Games.


I noted physical games because the other thing we did this past week is start something new. Thursday nights we're planning on live streaming some digital board game plays. This past Thursday Deanna, Sean and I played and live streamed a few rounds of Carcassonne played over Board Game Arena.
Besides streaming Carcassonne the three of us have also been trying out Through the Ages (the new edition) on BGA and enjoying it quite a bit. I also gave Kingdomino a try. Read on to see my thoughts on all of these games. [ READ MORE ]

Building something with Tiles. Tile Laying Game Suggestions – Ask The Bellhop

April 30, 2019 by Moe T. 3 Comments

It's been a while since I've done a game recommendation article and I figured it was about time to publish another one. Today, I'm going to be looking at tile laying games based on a question we received here on the Tabletop Bellhop homepage.


Steve writes:
I'm looking for tile placement games that help build something large like a city to either explore or use as part of the game. I enjoy Alhambra but the building aspect of it is usually on the smaller side. I tried Suburbia but it was a bit slow due to my groups analysis paralysis to max out the math/points for each placed tile. I'm guessing Castles of Mad King Ludwig would be the same...any other suggestions for me to check out? [ READ MORE ]
