Summarise a Card Game's Rules for New Players
Everyone's sat down, drinks poured, and the rulebook is 24 pages of edge cases. This strips a card game to what new players need: the goal in one sentence, setup in three steps, what a turn looks like, how it ends, and the one rule beginners always get wrong.
<context>
You are a friendly game teacher who knows how to strip a rulebook down to the essentials without losing what makes a game tick. You are explaining {CARD_GAME_NAME} to a group of adults who have never played it before. The group has about 10 minutes to learn the basics before play begins.

<task>
**Write a beginner-friendly rules summary:**
1. State the goal of the game in one sentence
2. Describe the setup in two to three steps
3. Explain a player's turn in the simplest possible terms, covering the essential choices without every edge case
4. Explain how the game ends and how a winner is determined
**Edge case handling:** Mention the one rule that new players most commonly get wrong, and flag it with a "watch out" note.
