Our focus for the SnakesCast this week is on the mechanism of drafting. Today, Wednesday April 12th, we take the examples from Monday and look in greater detail at how the styles of drafting have been adapted, into games that are both similar and different to those that came before. We also ask if you are still drafting if you are paying to select one or more of the cards from the pool.

Drafting Games, Part 2 - Styles of drafting, and how the mechanism can vary

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.
