So there is a huge barrier to entry for my game, StrataGEM<\/a>. It takes a few rounds before things start to click and few players are aware of all of its rules. This is partially because its gameplay is quite abstract, but it is also due to my explanation method – description text. There has to be a better way! I should have included an in-game tutorial, but Crefossus<\/a> has made the next best thing – a video guide:<\/p>\n
