Get your bookmarks ready - this week the SnakesCast is looking at games that are based on literature. Today, Friday May 25th 2018, we finish first by looking at games where you build your own story, and then delving into the seemingly endless supply of games based in Tolkein's Middle-Earth.

Games Based on Literature, Part 3 - Middle-Earth, and writing your stories

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.
