Giving instructions

I learned about giving instructions of games like chess, darts, cards and sports.

Following things are needed to play the game.

• Setup
• things to play the game.
• Objective
• how to win the game.
• Movement
• how to deal with cards, pieces or something.
• Special rules
• like you can change all your card before bet

I found that billiards and pool mean different game.
Accoriding to wikipedia, there are two kind of billiards, one of which is called pocket billiard or pool billiard, the other is carom billiard the table of which has no pocket and the game is played with 3 balls.

Movement of piece in chess is different from Shogi. but some pieces have similar movement. For example, bishop moves diagonally, which has the save movement of Kaku(角) in Shogi.  As I heard Queens move any directions, Queens look like a mixture of Kaku and Hisha(飛車) which moves vertically and horizontally.

We talked about Monopoly and Jinsei-game or life game, which are games like rolling the dice and landing your piece on a square. These games use dice. The word 'dice' is plural but I've heard that it is often used as singular.   I think why we don't use singular of dice is because it is 'die'. In Monopoly, there is no goal, therefore players go around squares on the board until the game finishes until someone win.
