Ruby and Yang were unusually hyper because they were having fun with that board game, and once Weiss found out what to do, she started to have fun until... Yang's trap card.

And at least plot stuff did happen. It didn't happen too fast or too slow. We met Ironwood, learned he leads a military academy from Atlas, we learned the names of the other three kingdoms, Blake was acting weird, recalled a conversation she had with Ozpin, Team RWBY got onboard with a plan to do something about the White Fang, and we found out that Emerald, Mercury, and Cinder have infiltrated Beacon. Come onnnn. That's more plot-focused stuff than we got in some chapters of volume 1.
