Every year I host a Gaming in the New Year party at my place on New Year's Eve. This year was no exception.

I have a group of my friends over and we play games through the night and early into the morning. We take a short break for pizza but basically it's about 12 hours of non-stop gaming.
I closed out 2018 and welcomed 2019 with 8 different games and 14 total plays. [ READ MORE ]

by 2 Comments

One of the first questions I answered here on the Tabletop Bellhop blog was "What are some good two player games?" This is, by far, the most popular post I've written. It's also one that I still get a lot of comments on. Many of those comments are asking me for more specific two player game recommendations. People want to know what are the best board games for couples, or games to play on date night.

Playing games is something my wife and I do together often. When we do have a night out without the kids it often involves a nice meal, some craft beer, and some gaming. Over the years we've found quite a few games that work great for when it's just the two of us. [ READ MORE ]
