My buddy in Chicago told me my game teach was too long and I lost people

He said 'dude, you spent 20 minutes on setup and lore before we even rolled a die.' Now I just do a 5 minute rules overview and jump right in. How do you keep new players from zoning out during the teach?

Chicago's a tough crowd, man. You could try teaching the rules through a quick practice scene instead of just talking. Let them learn by doing something simple right away, then fill in the lore as it comes up in play. That way the boring part is over in two minutes.

Some games need that lore to make sense.
