The SnakesCast asks questions this week - questions to which you may or may not know the answer, and may or may not need to know the answer - as we turn our attention to trivia games. Today, Wednesday September 27th 2017, we take a look at some games that get around the issue of having the most knowledgeable player win all the time.

Trivia Games, Part 2 - Some ways around the knowledge problem

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.
