This week on the SnakesCast, we sign the metaphorical document known as the Player Contract - the agreement that is made when a group of players sits down to play a game. Today, Monday March 12th 2018, we begin by asking exactly what that contract is, and how it affects the way you approach playing a game.

The Player Contract, Part 1 - What is the player contract?

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.
