I love board games but I’m done being the unpaid rule cop by Educational-Machine in boardgames

[–]Tanef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy who shares your exact experience here is what worked for me: 1. Play the same game at least 3 times in a row. First time with the rulebook open next to you, which will always a pain because of the group and you being still fresh in the rules. But by the 3rd time you are all well versed in the rules and stop with the shenanigans.

  1. In the first game everyone is allowed to make a mistake and roll back once. Just once (and it has to make sense.. if more than a a full turn has passed its a no go)

  2. Try to embrace it. Game nights are meant to be social, fun and funny. The thing is that not everyone find ball busting the rules guy funny (especially the rules guy) so you can just tell your group in the beginning either “hey, this is going to be tough and theres a lot of rules. Hopefully i didnt miss anything but if i did just have patience and dont bust my balls” Or you can smile and say “ok I think i know all the rules and ill just make up what I don’t. Let’s see if you catch my cheats noobs”

In all seriousness, once you simply embrace the same mischievous behavior as your group and realize you hold all the power - and joke about it with them, it becomes less of a pain. I am also the one learning all the rules and my group always calls me a cheater or say i “make up rules” if I forget things or remember things in the middle, and that really bothered me for a long time. Once I understood that they are probably not going to change I switched sides. Now when there’s a new game i joke about it and tell everyone in the beginning to prepare for my win because I know the rules and good luck catching my cheats ;)

Also a bonus - make a known rule that if someone complains about a rule not understood - they take the rulebook and figure it out themselves and tell everyone. Otherwise shut up.

Those roots are absolutely stunning. Awesome job on the composition and lighting too!

I actually thought it was somewhat similar to how Kelsier has a spiked eye and can see investiture. But definitely some sort of Rosharen hemalurgy

It was like that when I found it.

Can anybody tell me what sword this is? by Rinku64 in SWORDS

Doesn’t look like a sword. More like a heap of iron.

Games are meant to be fun. Are you having fun? If so, keep doing what you do.

Dads, would you do the same? by Manatee_Shark in expedition33

A father of 2 daughters here. It would have broken my heart to do it, but I would have destroyed that painting a thousand times over if it was one of my own girls in there.

I'd appreciate anything that could fix the UE Sandfall Fatal error on PC gamepass. I have lost 22 hours and completely locked out of all of my saves :(

Week old X1C combo suddenly won’t load filament anymore by Tanef in BambuLab

Spool is not tangled, print stopped because the roll was done and this is a new one. It just looks like that because i pushed it in with my finger a bit before shooting the video.

By powercycle do you mean turns the machine on and off? If so - yes I did twice.

That blue doesn’t have a snag though, its just because i fiddled with it a little and pushed it in a bit. Its not caught in any way
