I find reading some board game rules confusing. Then I watch youtubers like you do play throughs and the rules make more sense

One thing I have always found confusing is flip flops. Almost everyone I know has ripped off parts of their toes wearing flip flops but they are still around. Birkenstocks serve the same purpose and not only do they look better they don’t hurt you. Good luck everyone and thank you for doing the giveaway you guys!😊

Captain Flip is a great little game! Ripe for some new maps in the future. Also Cities appears to be a "ramped up" version of Quadropolis.

Things that I find confusing: West Coast Swing, it's the most unintuitive dance I've ever attempted to learn (it's all in 6 beats! Except when it's 8! And good luck figuring out ahead of time what it'll be, bwahahaha!). "Cottage-y" is such an apt description of games that I like, I'm going to start using that. Cities looks so good.

I used to have a guy that frequented my business and when you asked him how his day was he would always say, “I’m not doing unwell, thank you.” With the most somber look in his eyes and then would proceed to talk jovially about what he needed. Used to always send the new guys up to help him out just to confuse the crap out of em. Still not totally sure how that guys doing. Haha.

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? It’s so confusing! Anyway, great video. I might have to give Expeditions another shot if I have the chance with that expansion. Looks as if it addresses many of my concerns with the base game. Captain Flip is a great play on BGA. So snappy and quick!

I think the most confusing thing is the cost of shipping packages, especially in trying to trade board games. I think this is partly Amazon's fault for creating a warped sense of what shipping can/should cost, but trying to ship a package as an individual always just feels like a nightmare between box dimensions and costs. And then by the time you get to the shipping place (doesn't matter which service), it's not like you have much of a choice in paying the price, because it's not like there's an easy alternative. Also, maybe a shoutout for why "The Bird Told Me To Do It" never actually took off as a game. Will argue forever that it's Chudyk's best game (yes, I said it...), but no one has ever played it, let alone heard of it. Pretty sure I'm the only one singing (shouting) it's praises. (SOMEONE REPUBLISH THIS ONE!!!)

Boxes of pasta are confusing. Why do they always tear like that? You ever had one go along those little perforated lines the whole way? Yeah me neither, I usually give up before I start and just open the whole top, but every once in a while if I’m feeling real confident, I’ll try the tear tab and break my own dang heart once again. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I am getting older, so I often get confused and distracted. . . hey! The Cuckoo clock just went off, so cute. Speaking of cute, these two cats who are not mine like to come and visit and take naps in my house. Wonder where they are? Oh, but what was I saying? Something about astronomy? no, something about going on an expedition? Going to the city? A captain doing flips? Somebody saying that flip-flops are confusing? Don’t know. Now I’m confused. I’ll have to get back to you later.

I get so confused reading any book or watching any movie that includes time travel. My brain just doesn't understand all the rules about it. One day, you can have your mom fall in love with you and everything's fine as long as she falls in love with your dad by the day of the big thunderstorm... and the next day you can't be seen at all or move any objects or else the entire present day world will become a hellscape. It's soooooo confusing, but I do love giveaways!

I played Captain Flip on BGA a bit and it's a lot of fun even though I wouldn't have expected it. And I agree, it's kind of addicting. I'm really excited for Cities even though I have never been the biggest Phil Walker-Harding fan. I know. Heresy. I loved Bärenpark though. However... back to cities. It looks really chill and the puzzles seem to be fun. I definitely want to at least try it. Galileo Galilei looks very interesting and unique. Could be worth a try for me as well. The Expansion for... Expeditions? is nothing I would be interested in at the moment because I don't even know the base game. I really liked the Confusing Land game. I love puzzles and this one looked challenging enough. So... of course I'd love to win this (or even more) game(s). Now... what do I find confusing? Physics to be honest. Like... How is a giant metal bird able to fly? Why doesn't a cruise ship sink? Black holes was a good suggestion as well. All of this is pretty amazing and I love to read about it but it still confuses me a lot.

I find it confusing how I can read some rules and think I understand them, and then suddenly 3 games later realise it was wrong. I'll feel like the rule feels wrong or arbitrary, in my gut, but just kinda postpone that sometimes and then it's a real facepalm moment and I feel guilty as a host :P
