Tonight we’ve got topic based on a question about licenced games from Daniel, better known as Mage Akyla here in the Bellhop lobby:

“There are a lot of boardgames that come out linked to popular media. ie. movies. What is the best and the worst you've played?”

We already addressed this question during our September AMA, today we want to talk about what makes for a great licenced board game and share some great licenced board game suggestions.
