At first, he didn’t want to do it and said it would be too hard. I encouraged him to first open the game and see what he was whining about before making any further statements of difficulty. He did, grudgingly, and then laughed when he saw how short the rules were. He jumped in, feeling better about the monumental responsibility I had placed on his shoulders and was ready to teach us the game in about 10 minutes.
