The Finer Points of Teaching Rules The board gaming hobby brings child-like fun to adults. This grade of fun exists at the core of board gaming and cannot be found in most other adult hobbies. Having tapped this "premium" fun is what keeps board gamers longing for gaming opportunities and eager to experience new games. Yet despite the fun present at most tables where games are being played, some board gamers lack one skill essential to assuring that every game experience is as fun and enjoyable as it could be. We've all played new games. Let me tell you about an experience I had. At a game meeting about a year and a half ago, I was taught Tigris & Euphrates by a gentleman I'll call Frank. When Frank had suggested Tigris & Euphrates that day, I was glad to be able to learn it since I had a shrink-wrapped copy in my closet. That whole anecdote makes one solid point. If your approach for explaining the rules has proven effective, I applaud you. It All Starts Before You Teach The Occasion To Teach The Incremental Approach

Board Game Info and Reviews Don’t Call It A Comeback: GameCamp 2010 By Kieron Gillen on May 10th, 2010 at 7:47 pm. This is the second Gamecamp. Organised by awesome people, hosted by PayPal/Gumtree/eBay with food from Pizza Express and booze from Unity, it works on the unconference model. In short: a conference without a plan. People turn up. By the end of the day, the board looked like this: I am sad to report no-one managed to win tic-tac-toe. The day was a success, generally speaking. The style counts for a lot though. I started with the PC Is Dead Long Live The PC session, because if I didn’t, I suspect I’d be drummed out of this website. Second, I was lured to the Cannon Fodder and somethingunreadableonthisphoto session, despite the offer of tasty prizes in the Power Game one. The last session before lunch was Margaret Robertson’s – and I’ll see if I can get this one right – “I am curious to see if you are as curious as I am about how curiosity works in games”. Then we had lunch. And rest. So not all highbrow game nonsense then.
