Finally got my 8-year-old niece to play a full game of Azul with me after bribing her with ice cream, and she ended up beating me by 12 points.
Turns out her strategy of just grabbing the prettiest tiles every turn actually works way better than my overthinking, so what's your best 'beginner's luck' board game story?

Oh man, that's perfect. I taught my buddy Catan once, he had no clue what he was doing, just kept putting roads wherever. I'm over here planning my perfect settlement spots, and he accidentally blocks my longest road and wins. I was so mad, but you gotta respect it. Sometimes not knowing the "right" way to play lets you see the board differently.

Wait, she beat you by 12 points just picking the shiny ones? That's brutal. I've seen new players get lucky, but that sounds like a full on master plan. Makes you wonder if we're all playing it wrong.
