my son just convinced me to get this game (it was on sale for $8 so it really didnt take much of a push) and I am a bit overwhelmed. i want to say thank you for this. I even appreciate the fact that you mention how difficult it would be to put something like this together, because I was thinking that very thing. this really helped me to understand some of the screens, and what Im looking at, and how I need to think in order to make the correct selections, choices, etc. although I dont have it all down after watching this the first time, I will save this in my library and revert back to it, repeatedly. Thank you.

What a brilliant guide! Many people (including many game studios!) make 'instruction manuals' which detail the nuts & bolts of a game & the gameplay - a 'guide' imparts wisdom & insights which empower a player to learn their own way, regardless of their experience with the game or the genre. It's the little things, the seemingly insignificant insights that make all the difference to learning something new - even just knowing it's OK to make mistakes because there's numerous safety nets to help you return to the game. And your delivery is spot-on as usual - this is far better than most tutorials the studios create, a true guide in every sense of the word! 🧐👍
