Summarise the Rules of a Board Game in Five Minutes of Reading
Rulebooks are written to cover every edge case, not to get a new player up and running. This strips the rules of a specific game down to what you actually need for a first play: the goal, a turn in sequence, the three things everyone gets wrong, and how it ends. Read it once and sit down.
Summarise the complete rules of {GAME_NAME} for a new player who needs to be ready to play in [15] minutes.
Structure the summary as:
1. **The goal**: what winning looks like in one sentence
2. **What is in the box**: the key components and what each does (skip anything not essential for a first game)
3. **A turn in plain English**: what one player actually does on their turn, in sequence
4. **The three rules beginners get wrong**: the rules that are most commonly misunderstood or forgotten in a first game
5. **How the game ends**: the exact end condition and what happens if multiple players are close
