Surprisingly Complex Games - Games that were much more than we expected. This episode we talk about games that surprised us in a good way. In the game room were comparing a couple of games with older versions of them. First will be how Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion differs from Gloomhaven and then Mermaid Adventures Revised, a setting book for The Pip system Corebook we reviewed last week. In The Bellhops Tabletop we talk about Camp Capstone another online game convention and Runaway Hirelings an improv heavy fantasy RPG.

ASK THE BELLHOP
This week we have a question from long time fan of our show Prayerborne who wrote to say:
“I've actually thought before that an interesting discussion topic would be "Surprisingly advanced games" older games with mechanics we think of as recent inventions, or even newer games that are 'gamier' than we'd expect (mass-marketed Hunger Games: District 12 is a EURO!?!)”
