------> I'm not sure I'd call it "beauty", but, after 4 editions, they
finally have it pretty much worked out. Problem is, those rule #'s
get fuzzy after not playing for a while, and while you can remember
the general ideas, it's those specific, nitty-gritty cases that often
make a huge difference in the game - even in some of their
tournament reports.
        There's gotta be something in between a canonical
rules list for all possibilities, and the "high roll wins" concept,,,
