Grab a knife and fork this week with the SnakesCast, as we set the table to talk about food as a theme in games. Today, Monday April 24th, we serve the appetiser - a brief discussion about food as a theme in games, and then some examples of games that feature food as a veneer, but not as a part of the games' mechanisms.

Food-themed games, Part 1 - Food as a theme, and as a veneer on a game

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.
