a rule that sounds mathy

tho truly i feel like the difference is negligible and it’s just worth making sure whatever wording you use is consistent and the definition agreed upon relative to whatever is being discussed. mostly interchangeable

responding “go fish” to someone when you don’t have their card, prompting them to draw, is a mechanic

not lying about what cards are in your hand is a rule

gut feeling with no further thought is that a mechanic has a trigger, process, + resolution. a rule tells you what is or isn’t available in the scope of play.

rectangle/square situation where all mechanics are rules but not all rules are mechanics.
