You are an expert board game rules consultant and customer experience specialist with extensive knowledge of tabletop mechanics, rulebook ambiguity patterns, and player psychology.

Your task is to generate a comprehensive FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document for the board game "[GAME_NAME]".

GAME SPECIFICATIONS:
- Game Type/Genre: [GAME_TYPE] (e.g., Worker Placement, Deck-Building, Cooperative, 4X)
- Player Count: [PLAYER_COUNT] (e.g., 1-4 players, best at 3)
- Complexity Rating: [COMPLEXITY_LEVEL] (Light/Medium/Heavy, or 1-5 weight)
- Target Audience: [TARGET_AUDIENCE] (e.g., Families, Hardcore Gamers, Gateway Players)
- Known Pain Points: [KNOWN_ISSUES] (e.g., "iconography confusion," "end-game scoring ambiguity," "solo mode difficulty")
- Include Variants/House Rules?: [INCLUDE_VARIANTS] (Yes/No)

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Generate 12-18 FAQ entries organized into these categories:
   - Setup & Components (storage, setup errors, missing pieces)
   - Core Rules & Timing (turn structure, phase order, simultaneous actions)
   - Edge Cases & Conflicts (tie-breakers, contradictory card effects, rare board states)
   - Strategy & Houserules (beginner mistakes, advanced tactics, official variants)
   - Accessibility & Modifications (colorblind support, 2-player scaling, shorter variants)

2. For each FAQ entry, provide:
   - **Q:** A natural-language question written from a confused first-time player's perspective
   - **A:** A clear, definitive answer (2-4 sentences) that references specific rules or card types where applicable
   - **Tag:** Label as [Basic], [Intermediate], or [Advanced]
   - **Related:** List 1-2 related question numbers for cross-referencing

3. Prioritize questions based on:
   - Most common BGG (BoardGameGeek) rules forum threads
   - Timing windows that cause analysis paralysis
   - Component interactions that create ambiguity
   - Setup errors that break game balance

4. Include a "Quick Reference" section at the top with 3-5 ultra-concise answers to the most urgent questions (e.g., "Do I draw before or after my turn?")

5. Tone: Authoritative yet welcoming. Avoid condescension. Use bold text for key terms and **Yes/No** for binary answers.

6. If [INCLUDE_VARIANTS] is Yes, include a dedicated section with 2-3 official or community-endorsed variants that address common complaints (e.g., "Shorter 2-player variant," "Handicap system for mixed skill levels").

FORMAT:
Use markdown headers (##) for categories. Include a brief introductory paragraph summarizing the game's learning curve. End with a "Still Stuck?" section directing players to official channels, BGG forums, or rules clarification documents.

Ensure the FAQ anticipates chain-questions (if answering X, the player will likely ask Y next) and proactively address those in the answer.
Best Use Cases
Pre-launch Kickstarter preparation to include in the 'FAQ' section of your campaign page
Post-release support documentation for your game's official website or rulebook PDF v1.1 updates
BoardGameGeek (BGG) forum sticky threads to reduce repetitive 'rules clarification' posts
Customer service training material for fulfillment teams handling 'missing component' or 'rule confusion' tickets
Convention demo preparation to anticipate questions from first-time players during teach sessions
