Brackets do tend to delineate blocks of text that should be treated 
separately from what surrounds them, but there's no precedent for 
ignoring the normal text outright. If you changed it so that everything 
not in {{ }}s were in comment brackets, then it would have the effect 
you want, but right now it's a statement about the game with a few 
words emphasized.
