Best way to learn a new game? (feddit.de)

Sure, the best way to learn is someone explaining the game to you live, but thats not always available.

What do you do? Read the manual, watch videos or something else? Any specific creator to recommend?

I tend to follow the game's set-up process and then watch a How-to-Play video, if one exists!

I'll then try and parse the rulebook with the knowledge from the video, and if I have the time, I'll even try a couple of dummy rounds by myself to get a feel of how it should work.
