How quick are you to understand new game instructions?
(lemmy.world)
I swear I'm smart and have pretty ok reading comprehension...but when I pick up a new game I have the hardest time understanding the rules and mechanics by just reading the instructions. Watching videos is helpful but I still really only pick it up while playing the game and going through the motions.
So I'm slowly collecting games that I can't play until I find people who know how to play.
How easily do you pick up new games?
I'd say fairly easily for me, of course depending on the game. Last few bigger games I've picked up I've been able to read through the rules once through close to when getting it, then skipping through somewhere in the week before I'm actually going to play it with others. Then I'll just be the one frantically going through the rules while playing checking edge cases. I'm weird like a lot of us here and enjoy rules systems and seeing how different mechanics fit together, so it comes fairly naturally to me.
