    If I have to watch a video to play a game, I ain’t playing it.

    That aggravates me to no end. Learn to fucking write, or hire a tech writer.

      Not saying that you have to watch the video, just saying that it can be faster than a first time player reading the rules to everyone while figuring out how the game goes. Its a lot of information and the game has a lot of steps to it.

        A video can be helpful, but a good rulebook and somwone who knows the basics of board games are an amazing combo

      I fully disagree. I am one who hates to watch video’s and would much rather read something. Especially with my ADHD and not retaining spoken words as well as written words. But when it comes to learning to play a board game I first look for the existence of video instructions before reading. I always use the two in tandem when possible.
