It's more complicated than, for instance, tic-tac-toe, which seems to be
about the most complicated thing I can think of that he could reasonably
be expected to understand, based upon past experience. I'm not saying
he's capable of developing any meaningful strategy while playing the
game, but I do think he's capable of remembering the rules long enough
to play at least one game, possibly several. I would not recommend
assuming that he'll still remember the rules the next day, though he's
likely to claim that he does.

I'm sorry to be so nasty about this, but he's either suffering under a
extremely cruel learning disability, or he's a moderately clever troll.
In the first case my "nasty" description is entirely accurate; in the
second it accurately describes the false front he's been projecting -
either way, I stand by it.
