The prompt
Invent an original board game themed around theme, designed for number_of_players players and roughly play_length minutes. It needs to sound genuinely playable, not just a vibe. Give me: the win condition stated in one clear sentence, the core mechanic that makes it distinct from existing games I'd already know (name what it's similar to and how it differs), setup instructions concrete enough to picture the board and pieces, a turn structure with 3-4 clear steps, one twist mechanic that creates real tension or backstabbing potential, and a made-up but evocative name for the game. Close with a one-paragraph pitch of the kind you'd read on the box, written to make someone want to open it.

Example output
Themed around rival lighthouse keepers, the game "Last Light" is built for 3-5 players over about 45 minutes. Win condition: be the last lighthouse still lit when the storm track reaches its final space. Core mechanic is described as similar to a worker-placement game like Lords of Waterdeep, but differing in that fuel resources decay every round whether or not you use them, forcing constant triage. Setup involves a central storm-track board, individual lighthouse player boards, and a shared fuel-draw deck. Turn structure has four steps: draw fuel, allocate to your lighthouse or sabotage a rival's, resolve the storm tick, check win condition. The twist mechanic lets one player secretly become the "rogue wave" once per game, sabotaging without revealing who did it. The box-pitch paragraph promises tense last-minute alliances and betrayals as the storm closes in.
