It might be a very popular song, but Ticket to Ride is also a very popular board game, and the SnakesCast is looking at that this week. Today, Wednesday May 10th, we bring Steve into the discussion, and talk about the flaws the game has and why it is a good gateway game both as a starting point and a stepping stone to other things, but not necessarily something you'd want to play every day.

Ticket to Ride, Part 2 - What are Ticket to Ride's flaws?

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.
