From the moment you start playing, you'll notice how easy it is to pick up - just make your moves, try to outmaneuver your opponents, and hope for the best. As you play, you'll start to notice the little details that make the game so engaging, like the way the pieces interact with each other or the cool animations that play out when you make a great move.
The core loop of the game is all about making the right moves at the right time, using your special abilities to turn the tide of battle in your favor. It's surprisingly deep, with lots of room for strategy and planning - but it's also easy to just jump in and start playing, which is part of its charm.
