What is the gamestate? This is never explicitly defined in the ruleset, and the way the two terms are used seems to indicate that the ruleset and gamestate are complementary. I have assumed that the gamestate included every part of the game, including the ruleset. Having a single word cover the entirety of the game seems easier, but maybe it is useful to have two distinct ‘halves’ of the game. Which do you think is better?

I’ll propose an explicit definition once I have an idea of which definition is better.
