Description

Context

A complete English rulebook is a critical dependency for both:

  1. Tabletopia launch (Phase 2 of the Online Launch Plan)
  2. International community growth (the Japanese community already has their own translated rulebook — see #349)

Current State

  • README.en.md has partial English content but is not a full rulebook
  • Chinese rulebook PDF is complete and available on Google Drive
  • The Japanese fork at ossquest.com links to their own translated rulebook

Action Items

  • Use existing Chinese rulebook PDF as the source document
  • Translate to complete English version
  • Have native English speaker review and proofread
  • Publish as PDF on Google Drive (alongside Chinese version)
  • Update README.en.md with link to English rulebook
  • Consider adding to the homepage as a downloadable resource

Volunteer Recruitment

  • Discord community
  • COSCUP English-speaking attendees
  • GitHub help wanted label
