I very much like the graphical explanations of how the game is played. It looks like something I'd find in "Playing with Pyramids".
My only concern as I was reading it was that the game as presented looks more complicated than it is, primarily because I find the "Things You Can't Do" section off-putting. Instead, I would put the move-specific prohibitions on the back in the move descriptions themselves. The "You can't alter other player's trios" can be put in the How to Play section right after the sentence "If you can't change either your Trio or the House, roll again." The last prohibition, "you can't pass if..." is equivalent to the "if you can do the action..." sentence under How to Play, so I'd omit it.
The l's in the Swap section look bolded to me, is that a rendering problem on my end or a problem in the PDF?
Thanks, Carol!
