One of the most powerful learning tools in TTRPG's and Board Games are examples of play.
Both long form (where the structure of play is shown) and for individual skills/powers/abilities.
Provide examples & people will learn & share in your intended design vision.

Roary is looking for a group with whom he can play board games forever (i.e. a forever family)! He's the sweetest, bravest and the most playful kitten around! A perfect adventure buddy. Just watch his die rolling skills. #Boardgames #FosterKitten #Adoptable #CT #NYC #SouthNY #slaythespire #cats

#chess is strategic & one of my favorites. Multiple life skills can be taught from this board game.
Many people don't associate life skills to board games, such as chess, and more people should.
Games are not just games, they are more than that.

i like that this guy was so excited about board games that he blurted it out before remembering to mention that oh yeah by the way he's listing nine skills
Weirdly enough I was telling my first-years about "warrior ethos" last week.
Here's the skill set of a Top Viking, as set out by a dude who'd have gone through anyone using the phrase "warrior ethos" like a well-aimed axe.

This post makes me think about how I learned certain skills:
How did I learn:
-how to work successfully at a company - Role playing especially live action
-project management - my hobbies
-strategy and planning- board games
I learned most of my skills that help me be “productive” through play.
