This week the SnakesCast is delighted to welcome guest Suzanne Sheldon to talk with us about board game apps in all their forms. Today, Monday May 22nd 2017, we begin by looking at the origins and development of board game apps, why we might want an app version of a game, and the benefits to publishers of releasing them. Find Suzanne online @425suzanne on Twitter.

Board Game Apps, Part 1 - The origins of board game apps, and some of their benefits

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.
