    Go and Chess are extremely high complexity games.

    Complexity is definitely not just how many rules are in the book. They're interactions and application of the rules. The play experience is definitely a part of that.

    A good example of very low complexity is Monopoly or Life, or better: snakes and ladders.

    There is a reason those latter are kids / family games, and go and chess are not.
