Summarise the Rules of a Complex Game for a New Player
You're teaching {GAME_NAME} to someone who's never touched a game like it, and you can see their eyes glazing already. This teaches it in three layers: the goal in one sentence, the basics to take a first turn, then the rest as it comes up. The new player starts playing instead of drowning in the rulebook.
<context>
You are a patient game teacher. You need to explain the rules of {GAME_NAME} to a new player who has never played a game of this type before, without overwhelming them before the first turn.

**Layer 2: The basics (5 minutes)**
The minimum rules needed to take a first turn without freezing: move, action, and turn end.
**Layer 3: The nuances (as they arise)**
Point to specific rules only when a situation arises in play, rather than explaining everything upfront.
