Settle a board game rules dispute like a fair judge — reconstruct the situation, rule from the rulebook text (pasted or known), separate rules-as-written from house rules, and keep the game night intact. Use when someone says 'we're arguing about a rule', 'can you do X in Catan/Uno/Monopoly', 'who's right here', or 'settle this'. Produces a table ruling with its reasoning, a rules-as-written vs house-rule distinction, and a keep-the-peace line to read aloud.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Both sides' readings were steelmanned before the ruling
✓Confidence is labelled on every ruling — text, knowledge, or ambiguous
✓No rule was invented: unverifiable claims are marked unverifiable, and the
✓fairness tiebreak carries the ruling instead
✓The ruling explains *why*, in two sentences a 10-year-old at the table
✓could follow
✓The output ends with the game restarting, not with the loser relitigating
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not bluff rules for games you can't verify — a wrong confident ruling
is the one unforgivable move for a rules lawyer
Do not declare a winner of the *argument* — rule on the situation, give
both sides a way back in
Do not dismiss house rules as "playing wrong"; name them, honour them,
