Hot take: My friend said board game geeks are too obsessed with complexity
She told me, 'You guys care more about rulebooks than having fun,' after our last game night in Charlotte. Has anyone else gotten this from their non-gamer friends?

My friend Sarah said the same thing after we played Wingspan. The fun for us IS figuring out complex systems. It's like a puzzle that you solve together. Getting a rule wrong can break the whole game, so we care about it. That deep focus is the point, not a side thing. Calling it not fun just misses what we enjoy about it.
