This week, the SnakesCast examines challenges that can be faced with player interactions at the table, and we discuss ways of solving them that have worked for us. Today, Monday March 26th 2018, we talk about ways of engaging players who may be distracted while at the table, whether through wandering attention or playing with game pieces.

Challenges at the Table, Part 1 - Distracted Gamers

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.
