Me when my brother brings some new over-complicated boardgame every time we hang out.

The entire game is them explaining the rules tutorial style… and the next time it’s a different, totally new game instead of the same one twice.

Also they've already played it like 12 times and know the meta so you are going to lose.

Even if they don't, most games share the same handful of concepts, so playing a lot of different games generally makes you better at them

We bought a star wars board game for a decent amount of money. Kids wanted it (20+ year olds) and once we got it home the directions were literally 60+ pages.

I also spend this whole board game tutorial time zoning out because I know I'll just pick it up by playing it.
