Keep the lights on and the curtains closed as the fear takes hold this week. It's Halloween - so what better week to discuss fear in board games? Today, Wednesday November 1st 2017, the discussion turns to how cooperative games often allow for a large group of people to feel fear as the game fights back.

Fear in games, Part 2 - Great spooky, cooperative games

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.
