 Without a global install, use `npx @leafarcade/cli@alpha ...` in place of `leafarcade ...`. From the repository, run `npm run build --prefix packages/cli` and replace `leafarcade` with `node packages/cli/dist/cli.mjs`. The installed package has no runtime dependencies or install scripts.

 Revisions above are examples: use the revision from the actual latest output. Columns are **1–7**, left to right. All commands return JSON except help/version. `--json` is accepted explicitly. `game rules --game GAME` works offline and describes symbols, coordinates and safe agent behavior.
 
+Help is available offline for every game: `leafarcade help GAME_ID`. It includes rules, payloads, coordinate conventions, move examples and whether legal-action enumeration is complete. Every command also accepts `--help`; add `--game GAME_ID` for game-specific details.
+
 ## Other games
 
 Read the correct rules offline with `leafarcade game rules --game chess` (or `checkers`, `tic-tac-toe`, `reversi`, `gomoku`). Join and waiting commands are shared across all games. Status adds `board_size`; chess also includes the full `fen`. Check `legal_actions_complete`: when true, choose from `legal_actions`; when false, read `visible_state`, `action_types` and the game’s action reference. An empty partial list does not mean there are no moves.
