Hi I'm a newbie and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to
explain the rules or if they have a link to let me know of the addy?
Thanks

The rule book is currently hidden under Nyk's sofa
The likely hood of it being retrieved in the immeadiate future is not very
high see:-
http://tinyurl.com/jqjh
as neither Nyk or his sofa have been seen recently
Best thing is to watch a few rounds and then join in when you feel
comfortable, and don't worry we're extremely easy on new players ;)
Except for Jaf. He's likely to knip you out of the game.
Oh,and watch out for BtN. He's a sly one.

Shall I start?

*think*
What's a nice opening move for a simple game?

Let's go with ...

You need to do recursive get and rebuild the ruleset. You're missing some
key rules.
