When is a game too complex for your group? How do you know? 0:00:00 Fact for 432 The 432 Hz Tuning Controversy – “The Consciousness Control” conspiracy. Also, Guiseppe Verdi asked orchestras to tune A to 432 Hz (instead of 440), down-tuning to reduce strain for the singers.

Read the responses on Facebook or #backtalk channel of the Discord. 0:28:15 Complexity in Board Games Complexity – when is a game too much? When is it too little? And how do you find the right balance? How do you figure out a game is too complicated (for your group) – what are the warning signs? Andrew: if it sits on the shelf and you never find the right opportunity to play it. Anitra: if, like Mandy Patinkin learning Wingspan (language warning), your fellow players’ eyes glaze over or they freak out because they just don’t understand it. What if a game is not complex enough? Some people are just bored. Or it involves a skill they don’t want to use. Anitra says: “As a parent, your duty is to find a way to enjoy it with the people who do actually love it.” (While still setting boundaries.) Sometimes it’s because the game is very dependent on luck (Mr Postmouse’s Picnic comes to mind). Find other places in and around the game that you can find a way to enjoy it. Andrew also feels this way about In Vino Morte. You are allowed to step back and let the kids enjoy it without you. But it’s also good to sometimes lean in and show through example how you love your kids by doing something they care about, even when you don’t. What do you do when you open the box and you realize that this is going to be way too complex for the situation? Maybe you survey the table – “do we still want to do this?” If you’ve got a more mixed group (like multiple kids of different abilities): Make the call as soon as possible. As the parent/teacher, come up with some alternative plans: Other board gamesOther activities related to the theme (movie, whatever)Do a short alternative activity while you (as teacher) set up and learn the gameWalk away. If someone is having a meltdown partway through the game, find a way for the melting-down person to be able to exit gracefully. Is it worth it to overcome resistance from your kids (or the grandparents) to playing a more complex game? Sometimes. How do you do it? Lean into the theme. (Themed snacks? Music?)Make it as easy as possible You have set up the game.You have already learned the rules. Explicitly build in time for breaks. (Be willing to stop after the break if they don’t want to come back!)And yes, bribery. (Snacks!) Recognize that you don’t “level up” as a gamer, and you don’t always have to play the hardest games you can handle! Sometimes folks who normally love crunchier games are just burnt out and need something simple. What to do when a game just won’t get played? There will be times that you have to face the disappointment of realizing that a game Does. Not. Work. for your family. We highly recommend that you get rid of the game. Give it away and move on! This will prevent you from feeling bitter every time you see the game on the shelf. Giving up on a game is not a commentary on how good the game is! It is also not a judgement on your ability as a parent to bring your kids into the things you love. It is simply an acknowledgement that this game did not fit for your family/group. 1:02:00 New Backtalk Question We are spending a lot of time watching football games (although we’re there for the marching band). So that got us thinking… What board game would be the best spectator sport? Paint the picture of the spectator board game event: something in a stadium, e-sports style, with fans rooting for their favorite player or team.
