Begin with the real constraint

Start with the smaller footprint rather than assuming two players need no plan. The aim is a small setup you can actually complete, not a larger collection of equipment. Lay out what you already have and notice the step that creates friction before changing anything.

A short sequence to adapt to your own space and materials.

Check the fit before going further

Keep draw, discard and shared pieces distinct so neither player reaches across the other. Conditions and specifications vary, so treat this as a question to verify with the relevant maker, venue or source when it applies. A quick trial with the actual objects is more useful than a promise based on a photograph.

Keep the verification separate from the final step.

Finish where the next session begins

Test a full turn, then move the zones that slow it down. Take a moment to check that the result is accessible, safe for your situation and simple to repeat. If it still feels cumbersome, reduce the scope before adding a new purchase.
