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'll add Mysterium to the list. Not sure if it's the translation I have, but almost all pieces have similar names. You read a paragraph and are just like "??" Super simple game.
