Learn to Play Events are a great way to introduce players to Flesh and Blood! Learn to Play Events are designed to make onboarding players as time and staff efficient as possible for your store. The suggested teaching approach is learn to play open session.
The Ira Welcome deck is designed to teach the basics of FAB play and showing off the games fast, fun, and furious gameplay.
- “Here's an Ira Welcome Deck. Take a look through it.”
- “Play the online tutorial (10 min) or watch the Learn to Play video (6 min) on your phone or in-store screen.”
- “Find someone to play against. If you have any questions, ask for help.”
Suggested event structure:
Learn to Play Open Session
