We answer a question about our favourite classic games, starting off with a bit of a debate about what makes a game classic.

That is followed by a short talk about the games we’ve been playing. Then we wrap up with a trio of reviews, including Dragon Dice, a classic TSR game that’s still going strong thanks to a new publisher, Targi from KOSMOS, which harkens back to 2012, and the dice-building game KAPOW! from Wize Wizard Games.

Sean was out of town due to work, so we figured we would try something new and record an episode with Moe and Deanna. The two of them discuss one of her favourite styles of games, mystery and escape room board games, and share some of their favourites. They then go on to review Ghost in the Machine from the Mysterious Package Company, Deanna’s favourite mystery game to date. They wrap up with the usual week in review including first thoughts on Doomensions, also from Mysterious Package Company.

This is a lighter (but not shorter) episode with us talking about the Holidays, looking back at the games we played in 2023, and sharing a few 2024 plans. If this happens to be your first time listening, just be aware this isn’t our usual format.

After the year-end chat, we do have two reviews for you. Bah! Humbug and the 12 Games of Christmas followed by Catch the Moon. We talk about the games we’ve been playing and wrap up with a shout-out to all of our awesome Patreon patrons.

It is late October so we thought it would be a good time to revisit the topic of great games for the spooky season. We follow that up with two unrelated reviews, The Castle Panic Big Box Second Edition from Fireside Games and the new Cryptex from Escape Welt. We wrap up talking about a bunch of card games we played at a local gaming event.

In this episode, we talk about art in board games and how it can be taken too far. We then have a preview of the latest rendition of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. That is followed by two reviews, Illiterati, a co-op word game, and The Independence Incident, a small escape room in a box style game. We then wrap up with a rather busy week in review.

We’re taking it easy this episode, answering some shorter questions from our questions pile, as well as answering questions in real time from The Lobby, our chatroom on Twitch. Interestingly all of these questions end up evolving into a longer discussion on the relation between video games and board games. After that, we review Siege of Valeria, the last of the new small box Valeria games.

ASK THE BELLHOP - Discussing Board Game Pacing
“I'm a bit like Goldilocks when it comes to game pace, not too fast, not to slow but just the right pace for me to make those optimal plays.
What kind of game pace do you generally prefer? Also, can you discuss a few examples of very fast or very slow paced games?”

In this episode we talk about games that look like they are made for kids but then when you sit down to play them you find out they are not. We’ve got two reviews to go with that, My Little Pony Adventures in Equestria Deck Building Game from Renegade Game Studios and the Turning the Tide expansion for Disney Sorcerer’s Arena Epic Alliances. Then we wrap up with some Injustice from Sean.

We talk about out of the box games doing something totally different. To go along with that main topic we preview Once Upon a Line, a game that has you scratching off the board like a lottery ticket. We also review Dice Kingdoms of Valeria and follow that with a look at some birthday gaming and first thoughts on Weather Machine.

We discuss game end mechanisms based on a question from one of our awesome patreon patrons. After that we dive into the pile of obligation and review two games, Boba Mahjong, a two player set collection card game, and Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria, a dice drafting game in the Valeria Universe. Then we wrap up with a busy week in review where I got in some New Year’s Eve gaming and we totally didn’t have a SeanCon.

A look back at the past year; our most played games, new to us games, biggest surprises, disappointments, and more. We also review two puzzle boxes from Escape Welt and wrap up with our usual Bellhop’s Tabletop segment with a frustrating Christmas Eve, a classic game play for Sean, & more.

EDIT: In regards to the Escape Welt Review in this episode:

In the original review, I thought that my copy of The House of the Dragon included a spelling error, information I had heard from another reviewer. I have since learned that this production issue has been fixed by Escape Welt, and that both my copy and all future copies have been corrected.

I apologize to our readers/listeners and to Escape Welt for not double checking my copy of the puzzle and for including incorrect information in the original review.

Tonight we’re talking about a problem many of us face, the disconnect between the games we want or buy and the games that we actually get played. After that we’ve got a review of Scythe from Stonemier games, a game that reinforced my belief that you can’t judge a game based on only a couple of plays with one group.
