Ultimately the fun of a heavy board game comes in having interesting decisions to make and executing your strategy.

So the nuances can really matter. Even if you get the rules right, you don’t realise the importances of something until you play once or twice.

It's iterative.

You're not going to learn a full complex ruleset in one sitting.Having a one page quick start of the game structure, allows you to get a feel for it before coming back for a deep dive.

Your brain has a foundation to build on when you read the ful complex rules - it wont feel like your brain is maxing out at 100%.
