People complaining that something is broken in a game only to be told they got a fundamental rule wrong.
Bonus points if they then get huffy.
Come on people the rulebook is clear. It's right in there. How are you playing board games with an apparently 3rd grade reading level...

People who play a game once, then complain on BGG/socials that a thing is overpowered, unbalanced, too easy, too difficult etc.
"We played Pandemic for the first time as Scientist and Medic on Easy mode and we won, is the game always this easy???"

Gaming buddy introduced me to Terra Mystica last night. He was so excited to play and super enthusiastic through the teach and the game. I didn't have the heart to tell him afterwards that I hated every second of it. Sorry, but this game sucks. Boring, boring, boring.

My ex's family said they enjoyed game night but their gaming habits were awful. His mother was always a sore loser but an argument over Codenames escalated so much it was directly responsible for us breaking off our engagement.
