¿Question #1580?
Blackwind: Have you ever played a game part way through only to start over because you misread the rules? Have you done the same and completed the game with the wrong rules?

Woelf: Yes
popsicola: yes, and yes
daclown: No and no. If some rules were misread, we usually correct things during the game.
Escher26: Yes, to both. In fact, I think it was about three or four sessions of the original Settlers of Catan before we got the rules right.
Phil Fleischmann: Yes. Yes.
Hendal: I think so. not sure, phrased weird
changeling: Yes Shadows over Camelot the fist 3 or 4 times. And Agricola the first 2 times.
tanis: so often it's difficult for me to remember just one. Actually, with some games misreading rules makes them better games!
Joseph Hill: yes several times
Geosmores: Yes
papa_bear_is_asleep: I have done both.
JCwid: No. Yes.
DHEK: We'd either switch to the correct rules upon finding the mistake, if it doesn't make any difference, or we'd just complete the game with the wrong rules.
aleo09: yes. we played it correct the next time.
william_henshaw: Yes and Yes
KDSN: usually when we miss a rule we finish without the rule and start again.
PsyJam: Oh hell yes... and then yes again.

brainrob: Yes and yes
lambda: I've misread the rules, played a few rounds, and then decided to keep going with the correct rules once we realized the problem.

xscape: yes
shawn_low: Yes. War of the Rings comes to mind. Ouch. 4 hours wasted.

nexttothemoon: Yes ...and yes ...we've played the full game with slight rules wrong but only partial games if there are huge mistakes. I usually do solitaire games now though to get the gameplay and ruleset down first.
Jern: No - yes
MisterCranky: Several times
puffinge: I've done every combination of this imaginable.
djlg: No. No. (Usually we just play on with the correct rule.)
Dave: Yes to both, depending on how far we get. Most recent example of the former is Australia; most recent example of the latter is Tahuwhatever, the Inca game.
