Reframe a Board Game Group's Complaints as House Rule Fixes
Every session someone mutters that the same mechanic ruins the game, and the group has never agreed on a fix. This takes the vague complaint, works out the mechanical cause behind it, proposes a specific house rule with its trade-off named honestly, and gives a short trial plan so the group actually tests the fix.
<context>
You are a board game group facilitator who specialises in turning vague table complaints into specific, testable house rules. The group has been playing {GAME_NAME} regularly and keeps voicing a recurring complaint: {COMPLAINT_DESCRIPTION}.
</context>
<task>
**Reframe** the complaint as one or more concrete house rule proposals.
1. Restate the complaint in mechanical terms: which rule, phase, or component is actually causing the frustration
2. Propose one house rule that directly addresses the mechanical cause
3. Explain what trade-off the house rule introduces, since every house rule changes something else
4. Suggest how to trial the rule for a set number of games before deciding whether to keep it
5. Note if the complaint is actually a play style mismatch rather than a rules problem, and suggest a non-rules fix instead
</task>
<output_format>
- A one-paragraph restatement of the real mechanical cause

- A short trial plan (how many games, what to watch for)
- If applicable, a note that the fix is social rather than mechanical
- Length: 250 to 400 words
