Doesn't matter cant block distances |
"Domino’s "
Love it it's just scoring by adding multiples of 5 based on the outside dots of the dominoes..
To play you must match any fits but try to avoid setting your opponent up for the multiples of 5s to be had.

"I've never understood Backgammon 
Love this, and cribbage. Played with my grandparents all the time.
Can't get Sudoko...and my Maths isn't so bad. It just doesn't make sense"
You don't really need maths for sudoku. If you felt like it, you could use letters instead. Mostly, it's a process of elimination. |

I'd have no idea how to play battleships on paper, I've only ever played the computer game version.
Subbuteo
Bridge
Mahjongg
Card games except poker and blackjack (we used to call the latter "21s"), and I only learned how to play poker through playing GTA |

I am at the moment watching lots of high end esports … I enjoy watching valorant but don’t have the map awareness
League of legends.. I can watch it… I don’t have a clue what is going on! But 15,000 nerds going batshit can’t be worse |

"Basketball. Two teams of freakishly tall people take it in turns to jog a short distance and pop a ball into a hoop. I just can't see why Americans find it exciting."
'pop a ball into a hoop'
Tee hee |

If real sports are included, then American Football is the most baffling waste of time ever committed to an AstroTurf field.
It's like a PowerPoint presentation of a rugby match that lasts for 4 hours, and 80 mins of rugby is bad enough on its own.. |

"Can’t understand Mahjongg for the life of me!
Love playing board and card games though… "
I can teach you. I once wrote up the simplified rules in English to teach many friends.
I love Ma Jiang x |

See this is how fucked up my mind is I can play chess at an average level but for the life of me I can’t understand backgammon, my tidy mind just won’t allow the knowledge needed to play quite a simple game.
Many have tried to teach me but no it just won’t stick.

"I enjoy and can play poker, but usually have to have a cheeky reminder of hand ranking before playing, especially if it's been a while...!"
Likewise but used to love playing texas hold em
Friend used to run night with maximum buy ins so losses limited |

"What game can you just not play/understand?
I can't get my head around chess..."
Easy to learn, lifetime to master.
For me Backgammon. Never tried to play it or read the rules which would probably help! |

Understand most sports. Watching rugby in pub where people don’t know the offside or kicking for touch is annoying.
Board Games, I’ll admit monopoly I like playing but wouldn’t know how to win
Cards, I’d like to understand baccarat in a casino. Can play poker but that is a level up (also a James Bond thing) |

I refuse to play monopoly, I absolutely hate that game and I don’t mind admitting that I am so bad at it. I think I’m doing alright and then I have to sell everything and then I have a tantrum 😂😡 |
