Hi!
Here’s my pass at a brief “pick up and play” rules summary. I’ve done two versions- one in the 7 steps format of the brief, one in a more traditional Set Up/Game Phases/Post-Game order that I think might be more familiar to most tabletop players. The actual text doesn’t vary too much but I think the presentation will affect how easy players find it to parse.
I’ll have some time to work on this tomorrow as well, so let me know about any edits or rewrites needed.

Hi Nadia,
I just wanted to check, are you going with the Seven Step rather than the traditional game rules layout? If so that’s fine, but if you’re going to be using the alternative layout I’ll need to duplicate your edits in the other version.
Nice. The Seven-Step is more concise imo. Easier for a new player.
