For those who have never played a certain game or type of game, you are breaking new ground. Think of it this way: If you have lived in a city, let's say San Francisco, for 40 years or so, and what is available to site seers is nothing to you anymore, and a friend who has never been to San Francisco comes to visit for a few weeks, do you not take your friend across the Golden Gate bridge or take him or her aboard a trolley or to Peer 39 or Fisherman's wharf or Alkatraz or Chinatown? After all, you've seen it all so many times before. Your friend, however, has not, and would probably like to see the sites.
