I swear I'm smart and have pretty ok reading comprehension...but when I pick up a new game I have the hardest time understanding the rules and mechanics by just reading the instructions. Watching videos is helpful but I still really only pick it up while playing the game and going through the motions.

So I'm slowly collecting games that I can't play until I find people who know how to play.

How easily do you pick up new games?

I agree. Alternatively, have your whole group prepare for a new game in advance, at least a how to play video each, so you are not the rules guy and can figure it out together while playing.
