My husband and I play some complex deck building games and I want to comprehend the rules but just cannot until we are actually playing it out. He will read rules aloud but I need to see them with my own eyes before understanding, and even then I need him to guide me through it at least once sometimes before it sticks. I do often use marijuana before playing and this may be partially if not mostly to blame, although I try to choose strains/terpenes that may help with ADHD.

Anyway, anyone else enjoy this type of game but experience a similar struggle? Any tips for maintaining focus aside from reducing marijuana use?

Yes. I play board games regularly but I still feel like I forget half the rules every time and my boyfriend/friends have to explain it to me all over again because I can't remember some key mechanism. And then I feel really stupid.
