i knew how to play, but the stats and cubing strategies are new to me and pretty fun.

My dad taught me how to play as a child, but I'd need a refresher. And unlike say Chess or Scrabble, I never won a game. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 10:30
I play and understand the strategy but I tend to be too aggressive/risky to do consistently well -- nm - rollo Apr 5, 10:07 2

  - Can. Not. Resist. -- nm - rollo Apr 5, 10:26
I've played a little against a CPU opponent just to learn the mechanics. No idea on strategery. -- nm - Baruno Apr 5, 10:04 1
- this series is pretty solid.. they're all really short, but good game changing tips. -- (link) - colin Apr 5, 10:09 [youtube]
