We love playing cooperative board games with our kids. In this article, I will be discussing why you should be playing cooperative games with your kids, and I'll also recommend several great cooperative kids games.
Playing Together - This episode we’ve got a Patreon patron chosen question from a fan looking for some great cooperative kids games for family game night, with a list of twenty-one game recommendations. After that, we review Wonder Woman Challenge of the Amazons a cooperative board game set in the DC Comics universe. We wrap up with a longer than usual Bellhop’s Tabletop segment where we talk about all of the games we got to play since the last show including a number we actually got to play together in person.
History Lives on the Tabletop: Great boardgames based on history. We have some game suggestions for a historical miniature wargamer looking to broaden their horizons into hobby board games. Sticking with the theme of history we’ve got two Viking-themed reviews, Skora and the Hall of Heroes expansion for Raiders of the North Sea. Finally in our week in review, I’ve got first thoughts on both Letter Jam and The Crew at two-player.
So Long 2020, End of Year AMA. Topics include: time stamps on YouTube, digital board game reviews, podcast plans and tech upgrades, board gaming in Canada, what we got for Xmas and more. Plus reviews of Robotech Force of Arms and Robotech Crisis Point. Finally, we’ve both been playing Hogwarts Battles some Race for the Galaxy on BGA and Sean gets Clank! to the table.
A spoiler-free look at what you get in the box for the Charms and Potions expansion for the deck-building game Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle a card game set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Surprisingly Complex Games - Games that were much more than we expected. In this episode, we talk about games that surprised us in a good way. In the game room, we compare a couple of games with older versions of them. First will be how Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion differs from Gloomhaven and then Mermaid Adventures Revised, which is now a setting book for The Pip System Corebook. In The Bellhop's Tabletop, we talk about Camp Capstone, another online game convention, and Runaway Hirelings an improv-heavy fantasy RPG.
Every now and then you find a board game that takes you by surprise. One that shocks you by being so much more than you expected it to be.

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.
