Mao is a particularly interesting variation on chess where one plays with cards rather then a board, all the rules are secret, people need to figure them out by playing often causing complete anarachy (en.wikipedia.org)

"Rule #1. It's forbidden to tell the rules of Mao.

Rule #2. There are two exceptions to rule #1, which are rule #1 and rule #2."

This is how Mao was introduced to me. Very fun game

(Actually I watched an ongoing game of Mao before I joined the party and started playing. As I was watching the game I understood a rule and said it out loud, not knowing I wasn't supposed to say the rules. This, of course, granted me a penalty at the beginning of my first game.)

Ours was “the only rule i can tell you is this one” but usually people did need more context. I prefer yours.
