>Aye. I got bored trying to read through the rules, couldn't understand most of them from the start, then daft for even bothering :-) Wondered how one would remember them, what the object of the game was (besides just getting bladdered) eg most games rules say like "The idiot who gets all his balls in all the holes around this huge field in fewer hits with his funny-shaped bat than any of the other idiots do it ..." This one didn't say owt of the kind.

If I recall correctly, the point, if there was one, seemed to be to try and do all the rules. Obviously, that became harder the more you played. Experienced players had an advantage in that they had memorized most of the rules. Actually, maybe the point was to make fun of those who didn't know how to play. All I know is we would all get trashed after a couple hours. Ah, maybe that was the point...
