Sure, the best way to learn is someone explaining the game to you live, but thats not always available.

What do you do? Read the manual, watch videos or something else? Any specific creator to recommend?

    My process used to be:

    1. Read the rules before everyone arrives
    2. Play the game and have fun
    3. Read the rules again
    4. Email everyone with everything we played wrong

    Now that I have kids I don’t always have the luxury of reading the rules the same day we play the game, so what I usually do is I read the rules a few days in advance, which means I won’t remember as much when the time comes to play, so then I end up complementing that with a rules explanation video.

      This is pretty close to my process too. I also try to play at least a few turns of a dummy game against myself after reading the rules, just to get a vibe of how turns go.
