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.

Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast Episode 288, was recorded on November 5th, 2025. We usually try to record Wednesdays at 8 PM Eastern at https://www.twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop
