This week the SnakesCast takes to the High Seas as we look at Pirates in board games! Today, Friday April 7th, we bring out the dreadnoughts of the pirate gaming world as we look at Merchants and Marauders and Francis Drake, discuss a socially chaotic pirate game, and take a quick glance at pirates that use rocket boosters instead of sails.

Pirates, Part 3 - The big guns, and pirates in space

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.
