What is a realistic first 9-week plan for multiplayer after a few failed attempts?

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I tried this in Mexico City with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. You will learn more from a simple version repeated three times than from a perfect plan you never start.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Source: mostly hard-won experience and comparing notes with people who stuck with it.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

Hope this helps!

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. The delightful part is easy to underestimate.

Appreciate the nuance.
