A buddy at the game store made me realize I've been a terrible opponent for years
He told me I always rush through other people's turns to get back to mine, and it hit different because I saw it in myself during a 3-hour game of Brass Birmingham last night. Has anyone else had a moment where someone pointed out your table manners were ruining the fun?

Honestly that's a solid wake up call. Just start counting to three in your head before you do anything on other people's turns, it forces you to actually watch what they're doing instead of planning your next move.

Four seconds is actually where it clicks for most people, not three. I've seen dudes who can't sit still for two seconds suddenly lock in just by dragging that count out a little longer. The trick is you gotta whisper it under your breath too, so you don't talk over someone trying to take their turn. Works wonders for keeping your hands off the dice or cards too.

Counting down worked better for me once I added a slow exhale between numbers.
