How quick are you to understand new game instructions? (self.boardgames)

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 usually find that settin up the board as per the instructions while reading, maybe taking a dummy turn or two against yourself really helps to understand the mechanics.
