How to play every game on Deckchair Games

Every game here has a rules page written in plain English — what you are trying to do, the steps to get there, a worked example, and the mistakes that cost beginners the most games. No jargon and no assumed knowledge.

Each guide is written to be read once and then not needed again. If you already know the basics, skip to the mistakes section — that is where most of the improvement actually is, because the rules of these games are simple and the errors are predictable. Every guide links straight to the game, so you can read a step and try it immediately rather than memorising anything.
