Explain Board Game Rules to a Complete Beginner
Everyone else has played it before and the rulebook assumes you have too. This teaches the game in three layers: what winning looks like in a sentence, what a normal turn involves, then the fiddly bits. You learn enough to join the table without being the person who holds up every round.
