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.

Initial Impressions of Zenteeko, Horizons, King of the Dice, Raiders of the North Sea, and Sorcerer – Tabletop Gaming Weekly

July 8, 2019 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

This past week I found a great board game to play outdoors. During our Canada Day celebrations, Deanna and I tried Zenteeko while the kids were playing at the splash pad.


After we got home on Canada Day, Deanna and I tried out Horizons from Daily Magic Games. Later in the week Deanna, Big G and I played King of the Dice from Haba for the first time, and later that day Deanna and I were both really impressed by Raiders of the North Sea.
Yesterday Deanna and I got in one more two-player game. This time we played Sorcerer from White Wizard Games. Read on to find out my thoughts on all of these games. [ READ MORE ]

Zenteeko, a Great Board Game for Gaming Outdoors – Review

April 14, 2019 by Moe T. 1 Comment

Zenteeko is an abstract strategy that, to me, is a cross between Nine Man Morris and Connect Four, that just happens to be made in a durable water resistant manner that I think makes it a great game for outdoor gaming.


My family likes to spend time outside. We take the kids to the beach, to splash pads, to local parks and we love having a picnic lunch or dinner. Due to this, I'm always really happy when I can find a board game that I can bring along to those outdoor events.  Zenteeko is one of those games. [ READ MORE ]
