Hi!
No worries, I get a kick out of reading your interactions. My first
group was just as lively and we argued until the sun fell. Sometimes i
planned my strategies to argue more than my game ones!!
Having played in a lot of places with very different people, I've seen
a whole host of interpretations regarding the rules, from the
downright silly, to those that convinced me to change my views on
them! It holds to reason, different people play different ways, thus
the different interpretations.
Actually I'd like to hear about house rules, you never now what good
ones may pop up!
