Explain a Board Game's Rules to a Total Beginner
Everyone else already knows how to play and you are holding a box of components with no idea what a meeple does. This turns the rulebook into a ten-minute briefing: the goal, the setup, what a normal turn looks like, and the mistakes beginners always make. Sit down knowing enough to actually play, not just nod.
