—Ask The Bellhop—
This week we are talking about what to do when you open that new game, all excited to learn it and get it to the table but find, inside, a terrible rulebook.
Charles Barouch asks,
Why is it that no one seems to know how to write gaming rules that can be understood clearly? I spend a lot of time on Board Game Geek or tracking down a gamer who can teach.
