How do I set up a board game?

To set up a board game, first, gather all the components like the board, cards, and pieces. What game are you setting up?

I'm setting up Settlers of Catan.

Great choice! Start by placing the hexagonal tiles on the board according to the setup instructions. Then, place the number tokens on each tile.

What about the resources?

Each player should receive their starting resources: 1 of each resource type. Make sure to check the game rules for specifics!

How do I explain the rules to new players?

Begin with a brief overview of the game objective, then explain the turn structure and actions players can take. Keep it simple!
