Translate a Board Game Rulebook Into Playable Instructions
The box is open, everyone is keen, and the rulebook reads like a tax form. Paste the rules and get back a quick-start: the goal in one line, setup stripped of advanced clutter, and what happens on a turn. Good for the person who always ends up teaching the game and wants the table playing before the snacks run out.

<task>
**Rewrite the rules as a quick-start guide:**
1. Goal of the game: one sentence
2. Setup: numbered steps, stripping out optional advanced rules for a first play
3. Turn structure: what happens on your turn, in order
4. Key rules: the five to seven rules that come up most often
5. How the game ends: win conditions in plain language
**Grounding rule:** Use only the text provided. If a rule is ambiguous, flag it as "check the rulebook" rather than guessing.
**Edge case:** If the rulebook is for an expansion, note that the base game rules are assumed and flag any rules that require the base game to make sense.
