This week's SnakesCast series looks at the asymmetrical, two-player only game Raptor. Today, Friday March 31st 2017, we discuss games that have some elements that are similar to Raptor, and also talk about two-player and asymmetrical games, both old and contemporary.

Raptor, Part 3 - Games with some similarities, and two-player and asymmetrical 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.
