Trainspotting

Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast

Trainspotting - Part one of a two episode series highlighting Train Games. In this first episode we try to help people define what a Train Game is. Sticking with our train theme we’ve got a review of an 18XX upgrade. Then we go off the rails a bit with our review of A Little Wordy, the latest game from Exploding Kittens. We finish off back on track with some initial thoughts on Great Western Trail and Rail Pass as well as plays of Villainous, DC Deck Building and Supershow.

Episode 131, recorded May 5th, 2021. Join us Wednesdays at Nine PM Eastern at www.twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop.
