The SnakesCast puts games in the firing line this week, as we discuss games that have been fired by other games - that is to say, something has come along which does what the original game does, but better. Today, Monday February 12th 2018, we begin by looking at some popular titles in board gaming, and the games we feel have dethroned them.

Games That Fire Other Games, Part 1 - The popular targets

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.
