Episode 386 – The Tabletop Inn!

0:00 Hello and welcome! This week we’re going to spend the second half of the show with some wonderful people running a wonderfully magical place over in North Carolina. It is, of course, The Tabletop Inn, run by Grace Kendall and Mike Belsole. Fact for 386 Moana 2 pulled in 386 million dollars on its opening weekend – the new record for the top opening weekend for an animated film. (It beats out Super Mario Brothers at $377m and Frozen II at $358m.)

The Tabletop Inn is a full bed and breakfast with a board game theme and an awesome view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. What is a traditional bed and breakfast? (It’s not the same as AirBNB.) Mike & Grace have opened their home to offer travelers a warm bed and a hot breakfast; it’s a place you spend some time, not just in-and-out. “There are pockets of fun hidden throughout the B&B that we hope guests can find and be delighted by.” “Every room has games in it”… even the hall bathroom. But if Mike and Grace sound familiar, it’s because they are also the creators of Smug Owls (https://www.thefamilygamers.com/smug-owls/) , a party card game we love. They tell us about the four different themed rooms, each of which has a recommended game pairing. “The ideal guest is someone who appreciates the mountain-escape aspect of the place as much as the games…” without being terribly far from civilization. It’s just a mile from downtown Marion, NC – a cute little city.
