Waiting for a perfect time slot

Consensus scheduling never converges. Pick a day and let people opt in.

No loaner decks

Curious people with no cards leave and do not come back.

Prizes too early

Prizes attract competitive play before the group has a social core.

Teaching from memory

Paraphrased rules spread errors that are painful to unlearn later.
