to be fair, I had exactly the same problem, the first few times I played it and I was on a team that made it!
I encourage people to listen carefully to the audio at the start to get the instructions, and once you get the idea of the game, it’s actually quite compelling.
I assure you I pay attention to instructions. I've been known to tell people to do that myself. I still didn't know what the goal was, or where exactly I was supposed to click. I could probably get into the mechanics if I had a sense of direction.
