Is it possible to learn a game?

Post by ab10 »

When I first signed up for the site, I got to learn a new game via a tutorial with the robot.

Is it possible to learn another game this way?

not all the games are coded with tutorial... it depends which one you like to ?
There are also some games that allows you to play solo mode (not tutorial).

Excepting Can't Stop, Hearts, Reversi, Quarto and Puerto Rico, I learnt all other games...

Learn a game take their time, people generally want to learn so faster or just after loss the first game don't wanna practice more. Just read the rules, watch some replays and try some games with opponents...

Also, don't be afraid to use the chat, and ask for people to teach. There is a group on here, "Game Tutors," that are generally willing to help.

Some advice for setting up a game where you can learn:

Turn ELO off. Many people who are skilled in the game and willing to teach don't want to risk losing to a beginner, and will often lose to a beginner by showing them legal, but unwise moves.

Turn game speed to either slow or 2 moves per day. At least slow is definitely needed, and more time to talk and explain is better. However, people may be wary of turn based, because people could leave the teacher stranded.

Put "Learning Game," or something similar, in the table description. This makes it easier to identify.

Try to be on-line when people who speak the language you want to learn in are online in larger numbers. This tends to be early evening, as people are getting off of work.
