How to Teach a Game.

Welcome to the Dice Tower, a podcast about board games

and card games and especially the people who play them.

versus Minions with my kids, Tom playing the latest in the Gipse series, and my son teaching me a game, which leads us into

a discussion of the best ways to teach a game to new players.
