The part they don’t show you is that the guy on the left has been reading the rules, learning the game, making plans to play it, and then having those plans not work out. For 10,000 years.
Me, with some of the random and old board games I found in my dad’s closet as a kid. There was some kind of 1950s robot war game that used a hex grid map tiles that you arranged based on dice rolls or something so it was different every time you played.
But none of my friends or siblings wanted to learn how to play it 😟
Not nearly as vintage, but I had Omega Virus, the 90s board game where the players wandered around a space station collecting key cards and weapons to shut down a renegade AI. The seeking point was a plastic box in the middle that kind of acted like a DM.
Never once could I get a friend to sit still long enough to finish a game.
My strategy is read just enough rules to start and then just fucking start. The first game no one knows what they’re doing anyway so fuck it, hop in and learn by doing.
