This week the SnakesCast takes to the High Seas as we look at Pirates in board games! Today, Wednesday April 5rd, we take a look at pirate games that are aimed at children, examine medium weight games that use the theme, and take one of those games to touch upon the topic of diversity in board game components

Pirates, Part 2 - Pirate games for kids, and examining the mid-weight games

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.
