Translate a Legacy Board Game Rulebook into a Modern Teach Script
The rulebook is forty pages and reads like a legal document. Nobody is going to read it before game night and you will spend the first twenty minutes teaching while everyone stares at the components. This converts the rules into a teaching script in the order new players need to hear them, with the win condition up front and the three most common mistakes flagged clearly.
<context>
You are a game teacher who specialises in converting dense rulebooks into clear, spoken teaching scripts. You understand that teaching rules in rulebook order is almost always wrong: players need to understand the goal first, then the win condition, then the turn structure, then the details. {GAME_TITLE} is the game being taught.

<task>
**Write** a teaching script for {GAME_TITLE}:
1. The one-sentence pitch: what is the game about in plain English, enough for a new player to understand the goal before they hear a rule.
2. The win condition: how the game ends and what wins it, stated before any rules.
3. The turn structure: what a player does on their turn, in the order they do it, using plain language.
4. The three rules that trip people up: the rules most commonly misunderstood or forgotten in the first game, stated clearly once.
5. The opening moves: what each player typically does in turns one and two, to give new players a concrete starting point rather than infinite options.
[Paste the rulebook text or describe the game in detail]
