Three years ago at a game night in Denver, I saw a guy lose his mind over a rulebook.

We were playing a new worker placement game, and he spent 45 minutes arguing about the exact wording for turn order. He kept quoting page 7, line 3, while the rest of us just wanted to play. It turned a fun night into a lecture. I think some people get so caught up in being 'right' they forget the point is to have a good time. Has anyone else had a game night derailed by one person's need to win a rule argument?

Totally agree with @danieltaylor, that guy missed the whole point.

Forty-five minutes on TURN ORDER? That's insane! He turned a game into a courtroom drama over a single line. Some people just can't see past the rulebook to the actual fun.
