The central point here is: don’t waffle, play. Even imperfectly, and even without an opponent. Some wargamers will find that combining rules-learning with actual gameplay is fun in and of itself, solitaire or not. Moreover, even some diehard rulebook-readers are likely to find that combining their process with pushing actual counters around will help them learn a tough game in less calendar time than reading the book alone.

That quote applies to any game, not just monster games.

Can you agree more than this because if so ...


I'm definitely a hands on learner so while I like to read the rules in full first nothing helps a game's rules stick and pushing stuff around and making mistakes. My rule books take quite a beating from all the referencing as I learn a game.
