Are there just two of you, or are there more? Should you play the same game? We discuss those very questions this week on the SnakesCast. Today, Monday September 18th 2017, we begin by asking why a two-player count is listed on some games that really don't work well for two at all.

How many players?, Part 1 - What do small player counts matter?

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.
