Earthborne Rangers, 2 players

Taught someone who wanted to learn Earthborne Rangers, and we played a day. Pretty solid first impression, and the character creation has a nice balance between sufficient constraint not to overwhelm, but crunchy enough that the decisions matter. It also bakes in a lot of combinations you can find to feel smart.

Anyway, it's a pretty tough teach if you haven't played something like Arkham LCG. I also think the first three days before the story starts are a good idea in theory, but since you're puttering around in somewhat tame environs, it makes the first couple days WAY too long. They won't be quite as long later when the challenges are stiffer so playtime is much shorter later in your campaign.
