Yes. With computer games, the actual rules are almost never completely described somewhere. They must be divined by trial and error.

A good example is Hearthstone vs. Magic: The Gathering. Hearthstone has all sorts of non-intuitive edge cases and unwritten rules. M:TG needs to be fully understood by all players, so complex interactions are still resolved with a fairly simple set of rules.
