On your marks - the SnakesCast team discuss games about racing this week! Today, Friday May 19th 2017, some of the more unusual racing games cross our table, including stacking camels and trying to escape a gravity well - and we also discuss different mechanisms such as wagering, obstacles and slip-streaming, and how they solve some of the problems we have mentioned earlier in the week.

Racing games, Part 3 - Wagering, obstacles and unusual ways of racing

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.
