#302: Rules Explanations
Listen now
Description
For reasons both personal and highly arbitrary, the SVWAG style guide (authored by gibbons, of course) does not countenance using the word "teach" as a noun, with the possible exception as a casual nickname for a teacher. Thus a game does not, in our parlance, have a "teach" except insofar as you call the person explaining the rules to you "teach". As in, "yo, teach, thanks for doing this thankless job, you make our hobby possible, I'm certainly not going to give you a hard time for any minor rules errors or didactic missteps, lemme buy you a pizza, teach, you incredibly physically attractive hero."  01:25 AYURIS: Sakura Arms (BakaFire, Level 99 Games 2022) Games Played Last Week: 04:04 -La Granja: Deluxe Master Set (Michael Keller and Andreas "ode."
