Surprisingly complex games – Games that were much more than we expected – Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast Episode 103

August 25, 2020 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

 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.

What are some good two player games? – Ask The Bellhop

August 2, 2018 by Moe T. 9 Comments

DragonGem from The Lobby, the Tabletop Bellhop Live twitch chatroom asks,


What are some good 2 player games?

This sounds like such a simple question, doesn't it? Something I should be able to answer easily and quickly. But it is actually not such an easy question as there are just so many possible answers. At first, I considered contacting DragonGem to have her narrow the question down but then I realized that I think it would be worth talking about just how many different styles of two-player games there are out there and showcase just how broad this wonderful hobby of ours is.
