2. If someone is alpha testing a game, they should generally understand the rules and how to play it. Otherwise, how can they know if there are problems? Players unfamiliar with a game should wait until beta anyway. I agree about the tutorial waiting until beta (because as you say, it needs a stabl...

Is there a section of the site where people wanting to learn how to play the games, and find others in a similar situation, or somewhere you could post to find someone patient enough to help you work through a game? Tutorials will only ever go so far I find. Some groups that may help with learning ...

Trying not to mess up the quotes, wish me luck. Well, I acknowledge your feelings, but I just explained in this thread that I don't have a practical solution. What should I do, a public seppuku to atone for my failure? :D Surely that's too lenient for your crimes! :D No, I was just hoping to brainst...

We have to balance the effort needed with the time available, and the effective inconvenience to the process; if some strings are left untranslated until a translator has encountered them in context while playing, it should usually not be a huge issue.

sorry for the re-post. No need to shy away from Raubbau because it's an unknown game! The rules are fairly simple ( and you can download them on BGG), gameplay is fast, no down-time. Please give it a try. Feel free to comment in the group. If you like it, please spread the word (there are 3 times m...

Factum is another example. It has a textbox for players to write a story, but I imagine people might prefer to use voice chat.

I think "rules change" in Red7 is a bit of a misnomer. It's really just one condition that changes (compared to the Fluxx family of games, for example). It's a neat little puzzle, but it also can feel like playing solitaire sometimes. I see Carcassonne has been mentioned, some other tile p...
