Three Board Game Recommendation Questions – Ask The Bellhop

August 24, 2018 by Moe T. 2 Comments

Our audience wants to know what to buy/play next,

Since launching Tabletop Bellhop we have received almost 30 gaming and game night questions. Thank you so much to everyone who has sent in a question.

So far we have looked at six of those questions and gone into pretty deep detail on all them. These were all questions that had long answers. Many of the questions we have gotten aren't quite as in-depth and aren't the kind of thing that requires an entire blog post or podcast episode to answer.

Today we are going to take a look at some of those questions, specifically questions looking for game recommendations, and answer three of them in one blog post. As usual, we will also be discussing these questions on our next podcast, which you can watch us record live at twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop Thursday nights at 9:30 eastern. [ READ MORE ]
