The December 2024 Monthly Debrief Video, which is the final episode in Season 4 of this series, saw us discussing the subject of Teaching the COIN Series from GMT Games. I unabashedly love the COIN Series from GMT Games and I don’t think that is a secret. I have not tried to hide that affection and am unafraid to stand and testify to its greatness. I have been playing a lot of COIN over the years and most recently played the excellent new volume in the series Volume XII Red Dust Rebellion. I always have a good time with COIN and really enjoy bringing the system to those who are new. We recently got a suggestion from one of our Patrons about doing this video and it really appealed to us and we dove right in.

I also a few years ago wrote a post called Secrets to Teaching the COIN Series and you can read that at the following link to get a more in-depth look at our process: https://theplayersaid.com/2022/04/15/secrets-to-teaching-the-coin-series-from-gmt-games-a-guide-to-making-the-process-seamless-and-getting-your-players-to-enjoy-the-system/

As usual, we covered the games we played in December and talked about the games we plan to play in January.

We will remind you here that we are fortunate to be continuing our relationship with Noble Knight Games as the sponsor for our Monthly Debrief Video series. In case you don’t know, Noble Knight Games specializes in hard to find games but also carry all the new releases. But what makes them truly unique is that you can find some of the rarest games, long out of print games, hand made games, imported games from overseas, etc. Thanks to them for their sponsorship and we hope that you will consider them first when looking for the games we cover.
