[QUOTE="The Soloist, post: 9522013, member: 7043470"] I'm almost 60. I buy board games, RPGs, and wargames to play them solo, which forces me to keep learning new things. It's better exercise than sudoku. These days, I'm tackling Sword & Sorcery Ancient Chronicles, which is crunchy but fun. It was never easy for me to learn new rules. Some days, I can't learn new rules. It's just a wall of text. I wait a day or two, and then I can. I always struggled, so I don't know if there was a decline. For RPGs, we play online, but we shifted away from more complex systems. The youngsters in their 40s are too tired after work and have no concentration for complex combat with multiple abilities and powers. Instead, we play investigation games like Vaesen. If the rules are badly written and organized, it's not about you or your age; it's about the author. That was true in the 80s and is still true today. [/QUOTE]
