Happy Holidays! 2017 is almost over, and as we see the year out, we are going to look back on the year's board game releases. Today, Monday December 25th 2017, we begin by looking at sequels to existing games, escape room games (including a quick tangent on consumable games), and games set on Mars.

2017 Retrospective, Part 1 - Sequels, escapes, consumable games and Mars

The world of tabletop games is a lot bigger than most people realize. In fact it's so big that the idea of investigating it can actually be kind of intimidating. When you see all those games you've never heard of, with rules and concepts and themes you've never seen before in a game, it's hard to know where to start.
The answer is: start with the SnakesCast. Every week, we'll bring you ten or fifteen minutes' worth of banter about what makes these games worth playing. With a different theme every episode and a rotating cast of both gurus and non-gurus from Toronto's premiere boardgame café, we'll show you just how much there is to play with out there.
