A lot hinges on how well the rules to a game are explained. I&#8217;m going to attempt to help make things easier for Food Chain Magnate.<\/p>\n<p>Several months ago I was going to be teaching a group Archipelago.

After browsing BoardGameGeek&#8217;s files section for the game I found a <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/filepage\/118761\/archipelago-teaching-script\">teaching script<\/a> that allowed me to teach the game quickly and in a way that made sense to everyone learning.<\/p>\n<p>This inspired me to start doing this for other games that I enjoy.
