KillerDucky: Game Explainer

Advice, links, and tools to get started in a few games.

My favorite part of playing games is those "Aha!" moments when learning. This is why I've played a lot of different games — it's easier to have those moments when you're still new to the game. But before you can enjoy learning cool concepts, you have to get past the initial wall:

"What the heck am I supposed to be doing?"

My site focuses on helping beginners get over that wall so they can start actually enjoying the discovery process. I've carefully picked the best resources to use as a beginner (plus some going on to intermediate territory), and give a recommended order to use them.

Go

Learn the basics of Go.

Riichi Mahjong

A combination of gin rummy and poker

MJS graphs (Gold room+ only).

Shogi

Japanese chess — similar to Crazyhouse — every captured piece can be placed on the board as your own!

Some other games I play, but don't have a page for (yet?)

Rocket League

One of these games is not like the others!


Shoutout to my dad's site, Professional Explainer. I inherited his love of learning things, and combined it with my mom's love of games.
