It also wasn't what you asked for so no shade there. It is the curse of the boardgame haver. You end up playing dungion master. As you are bringing the game to the audience you are responsible for setting it up and examining the rules so the parties involved have a good time. They are probably going to meet you half way but that still leaves half the show boardgame type people are not inclined to prep for. Explaining rules and setup are notorious hurdles in having a nice boardgame eveing. I think one if the cruelist things I ever did to that buddy was get him a very good and fun boardgame that is very difficult to set up and run. So the odds of any attempt to play it living up to the potential was low. It haunted him for quite some time till he got a system down to run it.
