Just like the start of any board game, you can feel a bit lost at the start of a Megagame. There’s so much to do but you’re not exactly sure how to do it yet. There are a few things you can do to make the first phase of the game a little more digestable.

I always try to invite my friends to try out my hobbies; whether that be board games, disc golf or, yes, Megagames. I love sharing the things I enjoy with the people I enjoy. Everything is more fun when you’re surrounded by your friends. Why is it so difficult to get people to try a Megagame?

Your first in-person Megagame is an exciting thing. You’ve been messaging back and forth with your team for a couple weeks, so you know your role (you might be assigned a role in some cases, it just depends on the game) Now, there are so many unknowns and there’s so much anticipation of what will happen on game day.
