Happy birthday to How to Teach (and me lol)! 🎉🎊🎂
It's been amazing. How to Teach launched my video production career a year ago, and now I'm animating/producing videos full-time.
A little teaser, the next one drops on the 16th on a game from @brotherwisegames.bsky.social 👀
Here's to another year!

I made an announcement on patreon that the next episode was going to be on Codenames, and I had the full script and plan for the episode done.
I'm not going forward with the episode unless something is done about this, which is a shame.

The leadership of the Tabletop Game Designers Association was disappointed to see the publisher CGE touting Codenames: Back to Hogwarts, a new Harry Potter-themed version of Codenames.

Yoooooo #BGGCON folk! I'm here at the convention and I'll be keeping an eye out for those "teacher wanted" signs 😁👍
If there's a game you want to learn, let me know and, if things work out, I could teach you and your group! 😁

My biggest piece of advice is to understand what the minimum number of rules is to play.
Not win. Not strategize. Not anything like that, just directed play.
So, one of the things you can do is ask yourself what a player needs to be doing at the start and what do they need to know to do that?

So: how can you teach your game in a way that hands the reins to the players as soon as possible, but still gives them a sense of agency and control?
