ASK THE BELLHOP
“I'd like to pick up some games that are new to me, but I want to do it unobtrusively so that I don't have to earmark new space for it. If you had a defined space - say something like a 12 inch or 18 inch cube - that you wanted to stay within, what games would earn their place in that limited space? Bonus points if you have some family games”

“Mr. Bellhop, I am looking to buy a board game for my friends and I and I must buy it at Brimstone Games (on account of my sister buying me a gift certificate from them). I am looking for a cooperative game or a competitive game that is not so cutthroat. Do you have any recommendations for a game, and do you know sites that I can visit to do further research? Thank you in advance for your help.”

Tonight’s question is:
“"I was tasked to run a board game session for one hour in a school event. There were six players from first grade to fourth grade and I had no idea how much they have played before.
What kind of games would you make them play? Would you try cramming lots of games into one hour or one longer game? How much help should you give to those kids playing against each other?”
