This week, the SnakesCast looks at games featuring detectives, criminals and clues, as we turn our attention to games featuring murder mysteries. Today, Wednesday February 7th 2018, we look at some variations on the Clue theme that add something different to the game, and which will appeal to Clue fans. We also discuss why Sherlock Holmes is so common in games, while other detectives such as Hercule Poirot might not be.

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.
