The strategy starts in minute ten.
Bring the friend who never made it through the rules. You won't have to teach them — they pick it up from watching what happens, and they're making real decisions inside ten minutes.
I'm Andrew. I've played card games my whole life — twenty years of them as a professional poker player. The best thing in a card game is watching a plan you built play out the way you meant it to, at a table with a friend. But you don't get to the strategy until the rules run themselves, and I'm building the one where you get there in the first ten minutes.
