Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast

• Hat Trick

  This week, we reduce our question pile by answering three of your questions that aren’t quite involved enough to warrant a full podcast episode; one on favourite games and game styles, one on cons, and one on the state of the industry. We also share thoughts on How to Save a World from Burnt Island Games and do full reviews of both Slanguage from Foxmind and The Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the Ring Trick Taking Game from Office Dog.
