Pro tip: start with a 10 minute timer for setup instead of rushing through rules

Used to hate teaching new games cuz I'd ramble forever and lose people. Last week I set a 10 minute timer for setup and told everyone we'd figure the rules as we go. Worked way better for a game like Wingspan, nobody felt bored.

Man you're making it sound like teaching board games is some kind of stressful life event lol. Its just sitting around a table with snacks and cards.

@mason.brian you say that but I had a friend literally break down crying during a game of Catan once cuz he thought the robber was personally attacking him. Ever since then I do the timer thing too, really helps keep the vibes chill.
