I never knew how to really play the physical card game but I think that was more to do with being young and too impatient, the same way I'm sure tons of families played by their own Monopoly rules rather than have to basically do lectures to an unwilling audience and constantly consult the instructions.

That said once the Gameboy Color game came out, I learned how to play properly relatively quick and it was great. Still never played an actual match in real life, though.
