PSA: got crushed at my first 6-player game night in Columbus and now I bring a cheat sheet
Went to a board game meetup at a coffee shop in Columbus last month and got dropped into a 6-player heavy euro with zero warning, and I spent the whole first hour lost. Now I always text the host ahead of time asking what's hitting the table so I can watch a 15 minute rules video beforehand. Does anyone else prep like this, or do you just show up and figure it out as you go?
