Support for Learning to Play

Hi everyone.
A Gest of Robin Hood is an awesome game, a mixture between chess, poker and Twilight Struggle (at least, in my feelings).
A so strategically deep game can grant many hours of satisfactionally thinking, enjoyful contemplation and experimental tryouts.
But has a natural "flaw", even if flaw is not the correct word.
It has an harsh learning curve.
Citing a common adagio: "An hour to learn, a lifetime to master"
Learning the rules of play is easy. Learning how to correctly (and victoriously) play is a day-by-day approach.
And I suppose this hard climbing before figuring out how to properly play can somehow repel new players from give more attempts after the surface approach of a single or very few games, expecially if badly beaten without understand why.
I remember myself: in the very first games using Robin I tought that Sheriff was Overpowered and the game imbalanced.
Then I played with the Sheriff and lost anyway. So I realized the problem was my game knowledge.
Said so:
Hurbmint, KKDvak and myself are willing to open tables (friendly or competitive) with players who want lo improve their playstile and understand better the strategy mechanics of the game, having matches where moves are commented and analyzed.
Just reach one of us via PM and let's play
