    it might shock you to learn that there are 8 billion people on this planet, you can find people who will actually play the board games and it’s not even difficult. for example: go to literally any game shop with tables. everyone there will focus on the game.

      It might shock you to learn that to assume make an ass out of u and me :)

      I’ve literally been hosting and joining game nights that were deliberately advertised with the board game as the focus and discouraged smalltalk style socialization and limited phone use.

      There are 8 billion people in the world (7.997 billion who are not even remotely close to where I live, so that number is moot anyway), and I might just have been unlucky. But the point still stands.

      Or maybe they have ADHD?

      I dunno’ about them, but that’s why I cannot do board/card games most of the time. Due to no fault of the game or (usually) other players, most are so painfully boring to me that I’m pretty much trying to lose so I can escape to something more engaging after ~20 minutes.
