You'll never see us pass by this week, as the SnakesCast explores games in which a player's movement is hidden in some way. Today, Friday July 14th 2017, we talk about games that take the concept of hidden movement further, wrapping it into games with other mechanisms or greater detail, and we also discuss the appeal of the tension in these games.

Hidden Movement, Part 3 - Taking the concept further

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.
