Have you ever wondered how best to teach your friends a new game, or whether the game is right for them? The SnakesCast team discusses teaching methods this week. Today, Monday July 31st 2017, we begin by talking about the things you need to do or ask yourself before the game even hits the table.

Teaching Games, Part 1 - Things to know before you even get to the table

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.
