Because they've been mentioned a few times, I've placed the slides I

Note that these slides are mostly just illustrations and are meant to
accompany a full explanation of the rules, not replace it.

If I'm really in a hurry, I leave off #3. I mean, they *know* there have
got to be more rules than that, but with #1 and #2 they can see that an
actual game is occurring in what they're watching.
