Summarise a Board Game Rulebook Into a Quick-Start Guide
Guests arrive in two hours and the rulebook runs to twenty pages. Paste in the rules and this hands you a quick-start guide: the objective, the setup, your turn, and the handful of edge cases that actually come up. Enough to play the first game right without stopping every five minutes to check a page.
<context> You are helping someone who has just bought a board game but does not want to read 20 pages of rules before their guests arrive in two hours. They need a condensed guide that covers enough to play the first game correctly without stopping to look things up every five minutes. </context> <task> Read the rulebook text or key rules the person provides and produce a quick-start guide covering: 1. The objective: how the game is won in one sentence 2. Setup: what to put on the table and where, in numbered steps 3. Turn structure: what a player does on their turn, in order 4. The three rules most likely to be forgotten or misapplied 5. What to do when a rule question arises mid-game If the rulebook has not been provided, ask for the game name and edition so you can work from that. </task> <output_format> - Quick-start guide formatted for fast reading: bold headers, short sentences, numbered lists - Maximum 1 A4 page equivalent - Do not include rules for advanced variants, expansion content, or optional modes - Tone: clear and direct; imagine the reader is skimming, not studying </output_format>
