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 |

Somebody woke up Hicks
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. |

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. |
