After dinner board gaming with 6 players – Ask the Bellhop

by Leave a Comment

I'm going back to the oldest question in the pile and talking about some higher player count hidden gem boardgames. I also thought this question fit well for a follow up to the last Ask the Bellhop where we talked about food at game night.

Emmett O'Brian asks,
What are some underrated/lesser known 4-6 player board games that can be played after dinner?
Thanks for the question Emmett. My Monday night game group is usually in this player count range so hopefully I can suggest some games that weren't on your radar. [ READ MORE ]

by Leave a Comment

First up, happy holidays to everyone reading this. I hope this season has been filled with games and gaming.

With 2018 coming to and end I thought this would be a good time to do a look back at the past year. The way the timing works out we will be recording our last podcast of the year on Boxing Day and that episode will release on New Years Day. So I thought this would make for a great discussion topic for that show.
I'm going to be looking at my most played games of 2018. I will follow that up with a list of some of the best new games of 2018 as well as my biggest surprise of 2018. [ READ MORE ]

A day of Ramen and Games – Tabletop Gaming Weekly

My wife and I finally had a weekend free and were able to hit up the local FLGS game night on Saturday.

We started off with Azul, then played a two player game of Terra Mystica, and finished off the night with a four-player game of Terraforming Mars. It was nice to get out of the house and get some gaming in again. This was our first time back at The CG Realm since Extra Life. [ READ MORE ]
