Choose your cards carefully this week on the SnakesCast, as we take a close look at trick-taking games. Today, Monday June 11th 2018, we begin by asking what trick-taking is, where it came from, giving some examples of well-known games, and looking at why we think it is not more prevalent in modern board gaming.

Trick-Taking Games, Part 1 - What is trick-taking?

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.
