Summarise What You Know About a Game Before Your First Session
You have done the preparation: watched the playthrough, skimmed the rules. Now you are not sure whether you actually understood it or just think you did. This consolidates what you know, flags the one thing you are most likely to have misunderstood, and gives you a simple heuristic for when you get stuck in the first session.

**Build a pre-session mental model:**
1. Ask the player to state in one sentence what they think the goal of the game is.
2. Ask them to list the three main actions or decisions they expect to face each turn.
3. Identify the most important thing they have learned that they are unsure whether they have understood correctly. Flag it as a clarification target.
4. Summarise the opening turns: what are the most important moves to make in the first three turns, and what common mistakes do new players make that they should avoid.
5. Give one heuristic they can use when they are stuck and do not know what to do.
