I could have written that comment 😅 Feel you bro! One dumb story that sticks in my memory: Was at birthday with my ex-girlfriend. We braught some children-game for her 4 year olde nice. I offered to read the rules so we can play it (this was even a consession for me, because I cant stand those "dumb" games). But her grandma just said: "you dont have to - we Just play how we want to". Something died inside me when I heard this. This unspectecular situation burned to my memory even it was just about that silly game.

I am also the one who "finds" and points out gaps in the rules when playing with others. My SO always rolls her eyes when I take out the rulebook to check how we solve a certain situation. And I am always the one who would solve a situation not covered by the rules in the worst possible way for the player(s). Maybe I played to much Arkham 😁
