This week on the SnakesCast, we look at one of the most frequently used themes in board games - zombies! Today, Monday March 13th 2017, we begin by asking why zombies are so ubiquitous in games these days, and also look at a couple of accessible examples of games with the zombie theme.

Zombies, Part 1 - Why are zombies so common in board games?

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.
