The Terrible Teacher | Board Gamer Stereotypes

Sometimes all it takes to ruin the fun out of a board game is to have a terrible teacher during your tabletop game night. How do you teach board games like a pro? Certainly not like this, and definitely not by reading directly from the rulebook. Explaining a board game's rules, mechanics, and strategy can and should be done concisely with humor and examples injected every step of the way, especially in teaching how everything would help a player win the game. Even the most complex and heavy board games can be taught well to newcomers so that all those piles of cards, dice, and whatever other components don't just look like a jumbled mess of cardboard and plastic—as long as you don't teach like this guy!
