Back in Season 3, we talked about how much we loved Dead of Winter, a game about a zombie apocalypse in the freezing cold. This year, Dead of Winter receives a huge expansion set called The Long Night, which adds a lot more to an already weighty game.

Game Spotlight: The Long Night

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.
