Party games come in two basic flavours: "who did what" games, and "guess the word" games. We talked the first kind back in season 1, and this week we're talking about the second kind. If you're looking at a card with a word printed on it, and you need to get somebody to guess what that word is, but you're not allowed to tell them, you're playing one of dozens of different "guess the word" games. How can such a simple concept stay fresh after so many games have been built around it?

Guess The Word

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.
