This week the SnakesCast compares two Ted Alspach games - Suburbia and Castles of Mad King Ludwig - and today, Wednesday May 31st 2017, we look at Castles of Mad King Ludwig, once again talking about its gameplay and some of its key features, and also touching on the history of King Ludwig II of Bavaria and his obsession with building extravagant castles.

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.
