I basically tell everyone the game is very easy and to just follow the cards specifically with the only two rules to remember:
1) Heroes decides ties
2) Older cards activate before newer ones
See, you can get away with that because of the game's co-op nature. Since you win or lose together, most players will get less sore if you misinterpret a rule than they would if you hurt their position in a competitive game. But if you play the game much, you'll run into all sorts of situations where those rules don't cover it. If you care about Playing By the Rules, read the rules addendum in the Rook City/Infernal Relics rulebooks (they have the same text AFAICT so you only need one), then check out Spiff's compilation of official rulings from the Greater Than forums. And even then, I've found probably a dozen corner cases and questionable situations not addressed by those documents, which I really need to write up and post. I hope Greater Than does a more thorough job writing up the rules for Galactic Strike Force.
