Games That Aren't Fun
The most common request from customers at Snakes & Lattes is for a "fun game". And although that means different things to different people, there are certain kinds of games that are popular among game players, despite not being what most people would think of as "fun". This might seem weird at first, until you remember that sad songs and stories have always been popular. So this week we're talking about games that definitely aren't fun, but are absolutely worth playing.

But this week on the SnakesCast, we're going to talk about drinking games, and (beyond the obvious) the reasons they're appealing.

Game Spotlight: Good Cop Bad Cop
Social deduction games like Mafia, Werewolf, and The Resistance have been popular at Snakes & Lattes for years. They're short and simple when it comes to rules, but they're stressful and memorable just the same, because you can never be sure who's on your side. This week the Game Spotlight shines on Good Cop Bad Cop, the latest specimen of this genre to hit our tables. And it may just be the genre's biggest hit so far.

GenCon 2015
Just a scant two weeks ago, the Snakes & Lattes Away Team road tripped down to North America's largest celebration of everything awesome on the tabletop. Along with sixty one thousand other people who love games, we played, we feasted, we socialized, and got very, very tired. This week on the SnakesCast you'll hear from us on the road before day one, at the start of day three, and on our long road trip back home. Apologies for the ambient road noise and exhaustion.

Interactive, Strategic, Fun
If you're a game expert and you want to recommend something good for a new game player to try, you'll need to ask them what they like. But when you ask them, the words they use won't always mean what you think they mean. Three of the most commonly heard words that crop up in those answers at Snakes and Lattes are "interactive," "strategy," and "fun." This week we'll talk about the different meanings those words have for different people when it comes to board games.

Game Spotlight: Dead of Winter
There's no question about it: zombies are an overplayed genre in the world of board games. More and more games about zombies keep shambling out of development houses and publishers around the world, and it gets harder and harder to get excited about new ones. But last year, Dead of Winter accomplished the seemingly impossible task of getting the game gurus at Snakes and Lattes to love zombies again.

Guru Voodoo: Office Events
Putting on a board game event for the people at your workplace carries demands and challenges quite different from the ones you'll face when you're playing with your friends and family. And who better to fill you in on the Guru Voodoo you'll need to make that event a success than Steve Tassie, the founder of Snakes On the Go? This week he'll tell you all about the tips and tricks he uses when Snakes and Lattes runs an event.

Game Spotlight: King of Tokyo vs. King of New York
Richard Garfield's "King of Tokyo" has been one of the most popular games for our guests at Snakes and Lattes ever since it was released in 2011. Its combination of dice, cards, and colourful cartoon giant monsters made it a huge hit. Three years later, it was followed up by "King of New York", a slightly more complex and demanding (and destructive) sequel. If these two games had a fight, which one would win?

Mystery Games
There are all kinds of stories. Adventure, suspense, science-fiction, historical... and of course, mystery. All of these genres have lots of games based on them, but only one ever gets requested at Snakes and Lattes. Why do people seek out mystery games, and which ones do the gurus recommend?

Lattes vs. Lagers
Snakes and Lattes is the board game café. Snakes and Lagers is the board game bar. Two different atmospheres, two different approaches, which have developed two different libraries of board games. Of course, those libraries share a common purpose: to entertain our patrons. How are the differences between these kinds of venues reflected in the games you'll find on their shelves?

Guru Voodoo: First Date
We get a lot of people on first dates, both at Snake & Lattes, and at our sister bar, Snakes & Lagers. This presents our game gurus with a special challenge. On the one hand, people on a first date want to talk to each other, so it's no good bringing out a game that will hog all the attention to itself. But on the other hand, a game that recedes into the background is probably kind of boring. What's a guru to do?

Pressure in Party Games
A lot of customers at Snakes and Lattes head straight over to the Party Games section because they expect those games will be easier to play. Here's the thing though. They may be easy to learn, but the pressure to perform in party games can make them far more difficult and stressful than even the most complex and demanding strategy games. This week we look at the reasons why party games can be the toughest of them all.

Guru Voodoo: Stabby, Yet Not Stabby
One of the best things about working at Snakes and Lattes is the huge variety of guests you get to meet, and all their wildly varying tastes in games. It can be a challenge though, especially when part of the group wants something intense and stabby, while some of them are clearly uncomfortable with that idea. What's a game guru to do? The secret is that not all stabbing is created equal. Listen and find out all about it.

20th Century Classics: Battleship
Most of the games in our 20th Century Classics series are for at least four players, but one in particular is for two players only: Battleship. Few games are requested so often at Snakes and Lattes by couples, because few other two-player games are so well-known and so well-loved. What's the appeal of Battleship, and how well does it stand the test of time?

Server and Barista Voodoo!
The game gurus at Snakes and Lattes do their best to entertain everyone, but sometimes there are just too many guests to handle. In times like that, our servers, baristas and other staff step in to keep people entertained, and because they have other duties to take care of, they don't have the same luxury of time that the gurus have. So their recommendations have to be fast, simple, accessible, and appealing to a wide range of players.

Drawing Games
Pictionary is one of the most frequently requested games at Snakes and Lattes. It's been a nostalgic favourite for decades, but it's also a game with a serious problem: most people just aren't comfortable with their level of skill at drawing. But the idea of a game where you draw pictures is still good, so how can you overcome it with clever game design? This week we talk about several ways to do this, along with sculpting and other ways to make pictures for your friends to guess at.

Game Spotlight: The Duke
In this month's Game Spotlight, we take a look at The Duke, by Jeremy Holcomb and Stephen McLaughlin. The staff at Snakes and Lattes were so impressed by this game, they started a league. That's never happened before. What makes this unassuming little tactical abstract strategy game so appealing?

Guru Voodoo: Two Versus Two
In our new Guru Voodoo segment, the gurus of Snakes and Lattes are put to the test. We describe a table full of customers and they work their voodoo, picking and presenting the games they'll bring to show the folks a good time. In this episode, we get a table of four who want to play in teams of two, but aren't sure what else they're looking for. What games will the gurus bring out?

Game Spotlight: Coup
There's been a fashion lately for so-called "microgames". These are games that have very few components. A small box, a few cards (less than 20), maybe some tokens, and that's it. The latest to earn the affections of the gurus at Snakes and Lattes is Coup, by Rikki Tahta. It's a bluffing game with very sharp teeth. Have a listen, and find out if it's something you'd like to try on your next visit.

Women and Boardgames Part 1: Start 'Em Young
Come in to Snakes and Lattes any evening of any week, and you'll find about half the people playing games are female. But read the names of the designers of those games, and you'll find almost all of them are male. In the first episode of our four-part series about women and board games, we'll meet our co-hosts (four of them! And they're all women!) and spend some time talking about what it was like for them playing games when they were young, from early childhood through their teenage years.

OMG ZOMBIES
The leaves are falling, Hallowe'en is approaching, and the customers at Snakes and Lattes are looking for horror-themed games to play. Zombies have been the most popular creatures in horror fiction for quite a few years now. Long enough for a lot of games about zombies to be designed and published. What makes for a good zombie game, and what are the games that deliver the goods?

You're Fired!
The ethos of Snakes and Lattes has a few clear rules. One of them is this: every game is loved by some players and hated by others, so there's no point in saying one game is better than another. But here's the thing: sometimes a game comes along that sets out to do the exact same thing as another game, targeted to the same audience, appealing to the same tastes, but somehow does it better. The old game is fired!

Conventions and Fan Expo
GenCon, North America's largest boardgame convention, was (a) last week, and (b) in Indianapolis. Two compelling reasons why it would be difficult for most of our regular customers to get there. But here in Toronto, we have a huge convention coming up this weekend. It's not dedicated exclusively to games, but the Snakes and Lattes crew will be there, and the guy in charge of boardgaming at Fan Expo is here to tell us all about it.

Something Against Humanity
LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED "Cards Against Humanity" might just be a random collection of cards with weird and offensive things printed on them, but it's also the most popular game at Snakes & Lattes. Longevity isn't exactly its strong suit, though. So how can you keep it interesting after you've played a few times?
