The One With the Most Points Wins!

[@WATCH_DOGS_SUCKS]

This is why when friends of mine ask me to teach them to play Magic the Gathering, I breakout the PowerPoint presentation.

[@ThatOneGuyOutThere]

Can I please see this presentation I want to get into magic

[@imveryangryitsnotbutter]

I feel like the only way to teach someone completely new to Magic is to come prepared with a suitcase of pre-built single-color decks. Each deck should center around as few mechanics as possible. Ask your student some basic questions like: Do you like winning quickly, or biding your time to grow powerful? Do you like managing lots of cards on the field, or would you rather just have a few at a time? Then pick a deck for them that suits your student's play style, and pick a deck for yourself that's vulnerable to your student's deck, and play a match. If they haven't been scared away by the end of it, then show them more.

I always assume the person I'm teaching the game won't get it until they start playing.

[@matissimoj1190]

Yeah, that's why the games shouldn't be taught by theory, but by practice first. Theory should be there for people, when they already know how to play and want to master the game.

[@saskia4219]

I normally explain the rules necessary to play the game as much as I can and when it takes too long we eventually just start to play to learn it by playing.

[@Catthepunk]

This. Explain, start, guide, keep playing. Eventually it'll stick.

[@marked_for_deletion8840]

Sometimes best to just guide them and not worry about competition for the first few rounds. Does it really feel good to beat someone who doesn't know the game anyway?

This is why you have to make the first game "open" - see each others cards so that you can help them.

I go with "play open until the new person requests to play for real." But yes. My cousin used the "I will explain to you as we play closed hand, telling you the decision you SHOULD have made, after you can no longer make the action, then blow you up! Hey, want to play again? What do you mean, no?" school of teaching, and I decided I wanted people to actually want to play with me more than I wanted to always win.

In my group we give roughly the rules and do the detail explanaition while playing. The first round is with open cards and the knowledged player explain why they do what they do. Then we do a few rounds were the newbis can asked openly and show their hands and ask for advice. Lastest 5th round is the first "normal" round and by then everyone know the rules. Works like a charm and we actually know quiet a lot of card games by now 😊

[@WisteriaTCH]

Pro tip: if you're playing a game for the first time and you couldn't memorise the rules yet, don't ask the person you're playing with to explain everything all over again. Instead, try asking about 1 rule of the game, something like "so now i do this, correct?" the person you're playing with will either confirm that you're right or correct you immediatly so you already know what you have to do, it's way faster to learn this way

[@geraldmerkowitz4360]

It's easy. You can play either with beans or lentils. The first one who makes a bet says something like 'sixteen throw', or 'thirty-two throw', or a 'quadrupled', as it's called, which is a sixty-four throw. Because you always bet in increments of sixteen, except for half-turns. Then, the person to his left either raises by at least four, or passes and says 'pass-bell', or bets that he will raise by six or seven and can attempt a Grelottine. In that case, he doesn't play, he waits for the next round, and if the total bets of the other two are not enough to fill the gap, he wins his Grelottine and the round starts again with bets in increments of seventeen. Suppose the next one announces a quadrupled - so then it's worth sixty-eight -, he can counter or he gets up and slaps his beans while shouting 'Rattle, it stings!' and tries to raise again until the next round.

Now, the game is euchre. Begin by separating the nines, tens, face cards and aces from the rest of the deck. The goal is to win at least three 'tricks.' Now, if the side that fixed the trump fails to get three tricks, it is said to be 'euchred.' The highest trump is the jack of the trump suit, called the 'right bower.' Partnership-making trump wins three or four tricks and earns one point. Lone hand wins three or four tricks, also earns one point. However, a lone hand wins five tricks, that's worth four points. Many euchre games are scored by rubber points, as in whist. The first side to win two games wins the rubber. The dealer has the right to exchange any turned-up card...

I have a near fool proof way to teach the rules to people, but I only do this when they ask me to teach them. I tell them all the rules, as carefully as possible; and then I sneakily cheat all the way through our first 3 games. After that, if they didn't catch the cheating, I point it out to them. If they do catch the cheating, I up the ante by being sneakier about it. Most people learn the rules of whatever game within their 5th game that way. And by default learn a bunch of cheating methods to look out for.
