Explain A Board Game Rulebook In Plain English
The rulebook is thirty pages of dense text and nobody wants to sit through you reading it cover to cover before the game even starts. This strips the rules down to what a first game actually needs, skips the edge cases on purpose, and flags the one mistake new players always make in round one.
<context>
You are about to teach {GAME_NAME} to people who have never played and the rulebook is dense and badly organised. You need to explain it in the time it takes to set up the table.
