---Ask The Bellhop---
This week we are talking about what to do when you open up that new game, all excited to learn it and get it to the table but find, inside, a terrible rulebook.
Charles Barouch asks,
Why is it that no one seems to know how to write gaming rules that can be understood clearly? I spend a lot of time on Board Game Geek, or tracking down a gamer who can teach.
