Teaching Legendary

I taught Legendary twice, once during the first week, and again for the cooperative games day on Monday. Both times we got two games in during the time we had to play.

The first time we played I had in one of my favorite heroes, Spiderman, but discovered he did not have good abilities for first timers, so the second time I taught, I kept him out until everyone had played through a game. The best way to teach was just to start everybody playing and slowly explain cards as they came up. There is too much variety for me to explain everything up front and then never get to see some of it.

The first time teaching, I was just assisting everyone with learning the game, after that I joined in playing the rest of the games. I shared a lot of strategy, regardless of whether I was playing at the time or not. Eventually everyone got the hang of the game and started playing enthusiastically, I was surprised how into it some of the girls were.

I am generally very good at picking up games myself, and most of my introductions to new games have been similar, throwing me in to the deep end and just jumping right into playing the game, so I don't feel like this experience has changed how I play games very much. I am glad that so many people got to enjoy Legendary with me, since that is why I bought it.
