Played a couple weeks ago and my buddy's little brother (when I say little, he's 22 years old) sat in and played for the first time.
This guy sat and thought and re-thought "I could do this. Or I could do this..." every damn turn. It slowed the game down to the point of boredom and eventually I started telling him he had to hurry up as people were tuning out, yawning, etc.
I thought I might get a little 3 minute hourglass or something if I have to play with him again. If he starts hemming and hawing I'll flip the glass to get his ass in gear.
Anyone else have to deal with this type of thing?
Me and my buddies don't take the game too seriously and even help out guys on the opposing team from time to time. Or if someone forgets part of their turn we'll let tham make it up (have I mentioned we tend to drink when we play?) out of order or whatever. So this guy over analyzing everything was a real drag.
