I sometimes feel I don't have the right mental capacity for strategy games.
I like playing board games and other strategy games but I am very bad at them, looking from a strategic and tactical angle. I have no trouble learning the rules. After like half a session of a new game, I basically know all the rules and after one full session I can teach others to play it. People in our game club often let me explain rules to new players because I'm quite good at explaining things so others understand. Simply said, I catch on to new games quite fast.
But when it comes to actually playing smart, I fall completely flat. I feel that I for some reason don't possess the correct abilities and thought process to study a playing field and come up with the most optimal play. When I look at the board, I often just end up winging it and hoping for the best. Others seem to be able to actually "read" the board and come to a conclusion. I never really come to any conclusion. I just literally stare at the board and can't come up with anything relevant. Much of what I do is often guessing.
I don't know if I suffer om ADHD/autism or anything but something inhibits me from seeing good plays in basically any game. It's really frustrating because I never seem to understand what I did wrong or right. I just can't read the board and understand what would be a good move.
And I don't seem to become better with time. I've played Hearthstone on and off since it's release and still am pretty bad at it. I can watch countless of streams from pro players but when I try to implement it in my play, I'm back at square one. I just stare at the playing field and don't really know how to evaluate it and end up just doing random stuff mostly.
Not sure what I want with this thread. Perhaps someone has the same experience?
