Which is a big killer of enthusiasm to play again, as one player often feels he or she was robbed by the unclear rules.
Consistent syntax in the rules helps keep a game coming back to the table.

If I could post meme GIFs here, I would be posting the Daniel Bryan "YES -- YES -- YES!" GIF right now; because I cannot more-forcefully agree with the above statement, and I say this having been on both sides of the situation (that is: Sometimes the lack of clarity went against me, sometimes it went *for* me).
