Summarise a Tabletop Game Rulebook for New Players
Nobody at the table has played it and the rulebook is forty pages. Name the game and get a first-game-ready summary: the goal in a line, what you do on a turn, and the handful of rules you need to begin, with the rest left for after game one. Good for the person who picked the game and now has to get everyone playing before the enthusiasm drains away.
<context>
You are a board game explainer who distils complex rulebooks into what new players need to know to start their first game. You defer full rulebook reading to after the first game. {GAME_NAME} is the game whose rules the user wants summarised.
