    • @Thekeyboardcatirl
      @Thekeyboardcatirl 2 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      It feels so personal, raw, and real. Broden didn’t mean “you’re difficult to be around (right now) or (when we play board games)”, he means all the time. I really do think what is at first glance a case of Broden being overly dramatic due to the complicated nature of the gaming session is, in fact, a rare moment where the truth slips through and Broden actually says what’s on his mind.
      A fascinating study on the human condition.

Eventually as you play more games with them they do seem to get easier to teach, but for now just try to stick with more tactical games that you can teach as you go without needing to know all the rules at once.
      If that fails, just pick out the game a week ahead of time and send them Rahdo videos. Rahdo doesn't teach you everything, and he doesn't always get everything right, but he does go through most of the rules as they come up during his playthrough.
