Your report

How much do you usually play strategy or tycoon games?
What did the tutorial teach you clearly, and what did you have to work out on your own?
Where did you first get confused or stuck? What were you trying to do at that moment?
When you built or upgraded something, did you understand how much rent it would bring and why?
Was there anything on screen you didn't understand, such as an icon, a number or a panel?
After the tutorial, would you want to keep playing? Why or why not?

Play the tutorial of a real-estate strategy game for 30 minutes and tell me where it lost you.

Bricks & Bribes is a turn-based real-estate strategy game: bid for land, build on it, and outplay rivals who are chasing secret goals of their own.

I want to know whether the tutorial teaches the game well to people who don't play many strategy games. If you rarely play strategy or tycoon games, you're exactly who I'm looking for.
