Mounds of Minis, Fantasy games with a ton of miniatures. Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast ep 223
Channel: Tabletop Bellhop
Date: 2023-11-07

Welcome to the second part of our discussion on miniatures in board games. Last week we talked about the pros and cons of miniatures, this week we’re going to be sharing some of our favourite fantasy games with lots of miniatures.
After that, we’ve got two unrelated reviews: Tome: The Light Edition; another trick-taking game, and then Astra a game about stargazing. We wrap up with another busy week in review including Moe’s first thoughts on Marrakesh.
