But that doesn’t make for good drama
More genuinely, I appreciate your response. We need more of that type of reasonableness. Drama makes for good TV (I guess) but not for a good life or friendships
What if they are not your friends and you were just dragged along with another friend? That’s usually how I go to game night, just randomly asked to join.
I would say, most of the time, if the game-have is not a jerk, they will be fine with you saying, “Can you slow down?” or asking a question. But like the main comment on this thread said, maybe I just have great game-having friends and acquaintances.
Coincidentally, I saw a similar comment where the the new player was the antagonist, saying things like, “That’s too complicated!” to a simple rule. I tried to find it, but I had no luck.
I have kinda the reverse issue:
I try to find something new to play, but people ~usually tend to resist against trying new games. And if it has many/complex rules it gets discarded even more easily…🥲
I won’t even pick up a new game if it’s got more than 3 types of tokens/currencies anymore.
Especially if it looks like it takes more time to set up and explain the rules than it takes to actually play the game.
“You know what, let’s just play and we’ll figure it out as we go.”
The first play through of any game is just for fun and to learn.
People should play open handed and the experienced player should just talk through the turns until people get it.
Well, if it is going to be a typical Euro, I’m going to kind of zone out while listening to the rules, pick a play style that seems fun, then play to not be in last place.
