I taught my 7-year-old to play Scythe and it didn't go how I thought

I figured we'd just do the basic moves and maybe play for 20 minutes. She asked to read the faction abilities herself and picked Polania. By turn three, she had a plan to get her mech onto the factory tile. The game took over two hours and she only lost by three coins. Has anyone else had a kid grasp a complex game way faster than expected?

Wow, that's awesome. My nephew asked to try chess once and I figured I'd just show him how the pieces move. Kid checkmated me in like ten moves. Felt my whole ego deflate. They just see the board differently, no overthinking. Sounds like your daughter's got that same kind of sharp mind. Makes you wonder who's really teaching who.

Did you at least let her win, or did she just outsmart you fair and square?
