Interesting observation! I haven't had this experience at all. I've taught lots of board games to people, usually to multiple at once. The thing I find tricky is when you have some people who have played before and they keep interjecting with details that either aren't relevant yet, or I was planning to mention at a better time in the explanation.
A group of all newbs is much easier.
- da_chicken 2y agoI think trading card games are different because everyone is kinda playing a different game. Their hands are all going to vary a lot, so they each get their questions and sticking points in a different order. Games like Magic are harder because you can play on other people's turns, and the game is very very exception-based (cards often break general rules). Otherwise, yeah I think teaching board games to a group is not that much harder. Or playing card games for that matter.
