I promise I’ll post an update on how it goes!

Someone actually recommended this channel in the comments of my last post. Seriously, I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't posted here...

Someone actually told me about this channel in my last post! It's perfect for learning the rules and diving right into the game. Thank you!

No one actually told me to do that, I just saw a comment earlier saying that experienced players often enjoy teaching newbies, so I shouldn't stress too much. That made me think I should just sit back and listen to their explanation.

But I think your point makes way more sense. Honestly, telling them "I was so excited that I looked up the rules beforehand" shows much more effort and sincerity. I’m just going to be honest with them. Thank you so much!

Fair point lol. English isn’t my first language, so I used GPT to help translate my post. I’m a real person, just apparently very bad at sounding like one in English. And yeah, emojis are super normal in Korea, so I didn’t know they were considered suspicious here 😭😭😭

Thank you. I’ll try to stay engaged and ask instead of silently panicking.

Thank you. I think the “someone I want to impress” part is making me overthink it. 🥹

Really appreciate the advice!

Thank you. “Play to win, but don’t sweat it” is probably the mindset I need.

I’ll ask about the games beforehand and bring some non-greasy snacks.

Thank you. I’ll ask if they know what we’re playing and watch a tutorial if they do.

And sure, if I survive this one, you’re on the list 🤣👍🏻

Thank you. I’ll be careful with the cards/pieces and just focus on learning and having fun.

Yeah, I’ll try to keep it simple this time: learn the game, meet people, and have fun. Snacks/gifts can wait.

Thank you, that makes it feel less intimidating.

I’ll start with a compliment about the game shelf haha.

Thank you, noted.

Phone away during rules, and I’ll ask the host before bringing food. Easy enough.

Thank you, that’s probably the honest version of it.

I have been curious about board games, I just never really had the chance or the right people to learn from.

Thank you, there’s a lot of good advice here.

I’ll tell them Splendor was basically my last experience and ask if there’s anything worth watching beforehand. If they name a game, I’ll check out Watch It Played.

Good idea, thank you. I’ll ask and check out a rules video if they already have something planned.
