playing a game for the first time

Post by morphy »

This looks like a great site but the variations of boards and game options is a bit overwhelming. What's the proper etiquette for playing a game for the first time when you're not sure of the rules? Do you just jump in and ask questions later? Or is there a forum for specific game play questions? ty

I will send a PM to you
Welcome, you can see in the top part "Instructions" and I am afraid I didn't see any part for 'basic' questions.... perhaps except where you made this post ... When I was beginner I went to "Live Chat" when I didnt know something and I was asking there to some person. You can PM me if you have some question.
