Approach the game with no preset agendas and you’ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.
Meaning of the quote
When you play a game or do any activity, it's best to have an open mind and not go in with a specific plan or goal in mind. If you're flexible and willing to try new things, you might end up doing better than you expected. Having no set agenda allows you to be more creative and adaptable, which can lead to better results than if you had stuck to a rigid plan.
