attach the HDMI cable to the computer and play fumbbl on the big TV for them to watch. they'll learn through osmosis as you explain rules.

PaulHicks chose Dirty Player - and he saw that it was good.

I've started with fewer players, and mostly just moving around a bit, and not caring about any skills so far. He's turning six now and we're looking at a great gaming future Very Happy

Somebody woke up Hicks Very Happy

I went with removing kick off/inducements and just built from rookie teams so skill by skill they learn what they do. Most start rosters have maybe block and/or dodge and not much else. Orcs are a good starting team to learn as they have some strength variations too and ttm options for comedy value.

I think you can teach the 12 year old to foul all mens but 6 may be too young for that tactic.

Introduce things one at a time. So everyone moves 6. How do you move, take turns, all my players, then all yours, etc. Next lesson, start blocking. All one dice. 4+ is a success. Then next lesson, picking up and passing, 4+ for all actions. Vary as needed if your kid hates losing, gets bad dice, etc (but not so that you win. Some things are more important than winning a game of BB). Next lesson, elves are agile, so they do ball stuff on 3+. Orcs (or whichever bashy team you have in your intro games) are hitters, so their blocks work on 3+. Next lesson, a block with a friend to help is 2 dice. Expand from there as interest/ability to remember and enjoy the rules increases. And at whatever speed works. You may well get through most of these "lessons" in one sitting.


This sounds like an excellent recommendation.
