Prepare to survive on a cursed island, which may or may not be deserted, as we look at the cooperative game Robinson Crusoe - Adventures on the Cursed Island. Today, Friday December 8th 2017, we discuss the things that we do feel the game does well and also the things we think it does not do quite so well, in terms of representation in particular. We also briefly discuss the games that have followed it.

Robinson Crusoe, Part 3 - Escaping the Island

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.
