Welcome to week 2 of Space Month! We get warlike this week, as we turn to games with the theme and objective of galactic conquest! Today, Wednesday August 23rd 2017, we turn our attention to a game where negotiation is as viable as war and table-talk is essential: Cosmic Encounter.

Space Month: Galactic Conquest, Part 2 - War or diplomacy?

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.
