This week we throw the game spotlight on one of the prettiest games we've ever covered. It's a game that incorporates a delightful story with a simple rule set for a dungeon-crawling, monster-slaying, co-operative fantasy adventure. All the players work together to save the king from shapeshifted minions of darkness. Of course, no game is for everyone. Could this be a game for you?

Game Spotlight: Mice and Mystics

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.
