Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Though this is satire, we've all had that experience where we played a game (many times, even!) and only found out later that we got the rules massively wrong. Share your experience!

We got SkyTeam last October. It's a two player, limited communication game where each person has four dice to play on the game board.

After about a dozen sessions, we had to look up a rule and noticed that we were supposed to take turns placing one die each, we've been placing all four at a time... Some other rules are making much more sense now too 🤦
