Default Re: Do\'s and Dont\'s to make a good game

I'm not sure it's possible to keep things running smoothly AND have everyone content and happy.
Well, it might be possible if you consistently lose lots of money to everyone equally, but...
I think you'd like to keep the game moving and keep folks civil. One route is be the Hitler at the table and aggressively keep the action going and tamp out any smoldering disagreements quickly. Not easy, but if you can bully the crowd along into playing, and not get people too personally mad at you, you've made progress.
Don't allow "hot button" issues to discussed at the table. This might be politics, sports, religion, whatever.
