Welcome to a Bellhop’s Tabletop episode where we talk about the games that have been hitting our table lately. This includes lots of Qawale, an RPG party game, getting some use out of my new Targi Geek Up Bits, a return to Mars, and first thoughts on Gnome Hollow.

We’ve also got two detailed reviews for you including a deeper look at Qawale, and Cadaver, a creepy set collection game from Kedric Winks.
