We apologize for Moe's video size issues. Skype updated and was behaving badly. This should be fixed for next week's show.

End of May AMA - Topics include: Publisher self promotion, board game tiebreakers, Tabletopia vs Tabletop Simulator, and the board game we most want to see go digital. Also a review of The Alpha from Bicycle games and a busy week in review including first plays of Codenames Duet, Sanctum and a prototype of Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria.

Episode 93 of the Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast, recorded May 27th 2020. Join us Wednesday at Nine PM Eastern at https://www.twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop .
