Snakes & Lattes the Show

- Season 1

(2015)

Max Packett has created one of the first-ever board game cafés. Gruff yet love-able, Max is happy to run his small business the way he sees fit, even into the ground. That is, until James an estranged friend re-appears from his past to seek Max's help on publishing their board game brainchild from ten years prior. James, along side a myriad of board game enthusiast-misfits, could rocket Max's company to success or straight into the ground.

Max has one focus, his full-geek-game-designer-board-game-fanatic convention, Board-Emonium. He needs this to be the success that will turn his luck around. James continuing his habit of showing up out of nowhere, finds another old "friend" of Max's planning to reveal his new hit game. Things could take a turn for the worse!

James, concerned over Max's new business deal with Owen, makes sure he is there for the big release of "Bad Apples". Tensions run high as the staff aren't to impressed with the game, and when James and Owen are left too their own devices an epic "Geek Off" ensues.

James get's Max an interview with a "geek centric web channel." Stanley and Eloise commiserate on the failed careers that have led them to working at Snakes, while Casey kidnaps James to help her pack up Max's basement.

Contributing to Snakes' string of mysteriously bad luck, the staff is horrified to find out that the warehouse has now been robbed. When Max's stubbornness to let anyone have control results in someone quitting, he relents to letting James help. That's always a good idea, right?

Max, distraught after finding out about Stanley and Eloise, opens a chance for James to finally step up. With no games, a stubborn staff and Eloise gone, James tries to band everyone together to make it a successful night for Snakes & Lattes. Will he do it? You know what they say, "One bad apple, can spoil the whole bunch."
