WTF? Granted, this was, like, 20 years ago, but as always, anything further back than last Tuesday never happened, so...when you come home for Christmas, we'll sit down and figure it out (and there are my 50 words) Brigantyna

Any game that takes more than 50 words to explain is definitely worth trying. @RSIxidor – thank you for your valiant attempt, it’s much appreciated.

There are about ten specific rules that need to explained and without illustrations I doubt Ernst Hemingway could describe each rule in less than 5 words. If you're ever at the People's Pub in Seattle, I'll be glad to teach you how to play. @Brigantyna,
