Game Screens on RM888: Reading Any New Screen

A universal method for reading unfamiliar RM888 screens in two minutes.

New screens stop being intimidating with a fixed reading method. Sweep, scope, outcomes, controls: same order every screen, learned once.

Sweep

Corners and footers first: info icons, rules links, help entries. Documentation clusters at edges; sweep edges before reading centres.

Scope and outcomes

What counts, then what wins. Scope bounds the game; outcomes fill it. Two questions answered and the screen is mostly understood.

Controls

Stake, action, confirm: what each does, what each costs, what each commits. Confirm behaviour before committing attention.

Verify live

Watch rounds resolve against your reading. Matches confirm understanding; mismatches locate the misread precisely. Screens plus observation equals comprehension.
