We've spent the last couple weeks on the show ranting about the most popular games that we really don't like, so now it's time to put the shoe on the other foot and talk about the games we love and can't get most people to even try. And believe it or not, these aren't massively long or complicated games at all! There's just something about them.

Gurus Love 'Em, People Won't Try 'Em

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.
