Day #9 - The Day I tried to Teach again

Day #9 - Teaching San Jaun
Games Played: San Jaun

Well On this last Tuesday I was asked to teach a game that I learned in this class, or had never played before. So out of the games I had played so far, I was really looking forward to replaying and reteaching that game.

As far as teaching the game, it was kind of odd. I couldn't decide on the first couple of turns if everybody was really getting how the game worked. No one was out right complaining, but no one seemed to really be "planning" they were just playing. So i tried jazzing it up a little bit, by joking with the guys I was playing with, and that worked to an extent but not amazingly. After say 15 minutes of playing, I was starting to see a bit of strategy emerge from everybody, so it seemed like everybody got the hang of the game. At the end everyone seemed to say they enjoyed it, but no one really gave me any "real" advice on playing, so that was disappointing.

Anywho, I'm done teaching games now, so tomorrow I get to go back to being the learner. Hooray!!
