This week on the SnakesCast, we are putting worker placement games under the microscope. Today, Wednesday March 22nd 2017, we discuss Agricola - perhaps the most famous worker placement game out there - and also look at what happens between turns in worker placement games, and how important those moments can be.

Worker Placement games, Part 2 - Agricola, and how worker placement games evolve between turns

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.
