The rules explanation is not hell. Hell is being on the same table with someone who has permanent Analysis-Paralysis, one who is only checking their phone and always asks "who's turn is it"/"what should I do now", and the worst rules lawyer/salty loser ever.
Hi! Analysis-Paralysis here! I start planning my next move as soon as I complete my current move, but inevitably something changes board status the player before me so I have to recalculate. During recalculation my anxiety creeps up as I'm 100% aware people are waiting on me and I'm faced with 2 choices. 1) attempt to plan an effective move and frustrate others as my anxiety spikes, then once I make the move someone tells me how I could have optimized better. Or 2) say fuck it and just make a playable move to keep things going, ultimately fucking someone else's game. At least it's less often that I'm told how if I would just analyze everyone else's known game state and abilities along with my own that the next move should be obvious to me.
We've managed to find games that I enjoy and can process that I'll participate in, and the others I'll wish them well and step back.
I'm Analysis Paralysis as well, and I just figure that the analysis is part of the fun of the game.
Soooo, family game night?

You nailed this perfectly.
and someone with Alpha Player Syndrome too
Aka, the poor soul the others have forced to play a board game that they clearly have no interest in and refused to take hint.
