  • The Mega Meeple Podcast – Episode 045 – Teacher and Student (w/ guest Frank West – City Of Kings)
    In this episode, Thomas talks about the Do & Don’t of teaching and learning board games. People learn in various methods and if you’re a person who teaches or demos games, you need to meet your audience where they are. Also, there are things people can do while learning the game that can make the role of teacher much less stressful or problematic.
    My guest this episode is Frank West to talk about his wildly successful game now being shipped to Kickstarter backers, City Of Kings. This “Gloomhaven Lite” game packs quite a lot into one box and the variety of gameplay offers literally months on end of replay ability.
    QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How do you prefer to learn a game?  What approach do you take to teach a game?
