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 think it depends. Some game instructions are easy enough to understand on their own. However, more often than not I need a video breaking it down. My recent pickup of mint imperium sits idle because the rules provided are terrible and the videos online are not any better.
