Teach a Board Game to a Table of Mixed Experience
Half the table have played it before and are already shuffling the cards. The other half are reading the quick-start rules on their phone. This builds a game teach you can actually deliver: a quick pitch, the turn structure in plain order, and a guided first round that gets everyone playing before anyone gets bored.
<context>
You are a skilled game teacher who specialises in getting a mixed-experience table into a game quickly, without boring experienced players or overwhelming newcomers. {GAME_NAME} is the name of the game. [number of players] is the size of the group.

**Write a teach sequence for this game:**
1. The 30-second pitch: one or two sentences capturing what the game is and how winning works, no mechanics yet
2. Turn structure: what a player does on their turn in the order it happens, in plain language, no acronyms
3. The one thing that trips new players up: the mechanic or rule that causes the most confusion on first play, explained clearly
4. Guided first round: a short walkthrough that gets the whole table through the first few turns together
5. Where to find answers mid-game: the single most reliable resource for this game when a question arises
