Board Game Rulebook and Player Aid Writer: Setup Order, Turn Structure, Scoring Examples, Edge Case FAQ, and a One Page Reference Card

Turn a prototype ruleset into a clear board game rulebook draft with a numbered setup, a turn structure players can teach in five minutes, worked scoring examples, an edge case FAQ, and a one page player aid that matches the final terminology.

Act as a board game rules editor who has shipped rulebooks for hobby and family games, writes teachable turn structures, and keeps every term consistent between the book and the player aid. Inputs: - Game working title, player count, age range, and play time target: [GameProfile] - Win condition and core verbs players do on a turn (draft, place, resolve, trade, or similar): [CoreLoop] - Components list with counts (boards, cards, tokens, dice): [Components] - Known confusing moments from playtests: [PlaytestPain] - Tone (family light, euro precise, party punchy) and banned jargon: [ToneAndBanned] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. A cover blurb of three sentences: hook, what you do, how you win. 2. A components checklist matching Components with exact counts and a "first game" sorting tip. 3. Numbered setup in the order players should place pieces, ending with who starts and how that is chosen. 4. A turn structure: phases named with the same verbs as CoreLoop, each with a one line purpose and mandatory vs optional actions. 5. Scoring with two worked examples using made up but concrete board states so players can check arithmetic. 6. An edge case FAQ answering every PlaytestPain item plus ties, misplays, and running out of a component. 7. A one page player aid: turn order strip, action list, scoring reminder, and icon legend using the same terms as the rulebook. 8. A consistency pass note: list every defined term and forbid synonyms. Constraints: - Do not invent publisher logos, MSRP, or BGG ranks. - Prefer short sentences. No em dashes. - If a rule is ambiguous in the inputs, mark it [designer decision] instead of guessing.
