I really would advise all of the players, especially those who haven't seen the show, to study the game explanations like a textbook before a Finals test, then mercilessly torture me with as many questions as possible until you understand every factor at play, and every possible outcome.
A lot of what The Genius comes down to is this: who knows the most about what's currently occurring, and how to best exploit it. You do this by taking initiative with the game rules, and with other players.
