I’ve been itching to try out Keyflower for a long time. Asynchronous on boardgamearena would be an easy way if anyone else (newbie or otherwise) wants to as well?
I’m usually good for 4-5 turns during a weekday when I’m at the computer. Weekends are spotty as I’m mostly elsewhere.
I’d be interested in playing. It’ll be my first play, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be rubbish as well, but I’ve always wanted to try it out. Also Snobbydolphin on BGA.
Is 6-player Keyflower a reasonable idea? If so, I’d happily join the game, but if a full table - especially asynch - is a bit much I wouldn’t mind to sit this one out.
I’m a manual guy myself. And the manual is fine - apart from the description of the turn order tiles and boats. I had to get out the actual tiles to parse what they were trying to say about those.
Waiting for mr.ister’s BGA handle then I’ll open up the game.
I generally like to read the manual, watch a tutorial, then reread the manual. I’m very bad about overlooking little (but quite important) things, so the tutorials (mainly Watch it Played, John Gets Games, or Before You Play) help me internalize those little things.
Yeah, I’m not the most natural when it comes to explaining rules, but I’m pretty much always the teacher, so having a kind of model to explain things helps a lot. It’s just become my natural process for all games now.
