My point exactly.  It's only $3.50, so why should they be charging
that for starting if their game's so good anyone who'll try it will be
hooked.  If it'll get'em more customers, they *should* give the rules
away.  Like you say, an initial investment of $3.50 (less, since I'll
bet the rules packet costs less to produce) for sending the rules to
someone with a casual interest is chicken feed compared to what they'll
rake in from turn charges.

If it's only $3.50, why don't *you* pay for my rules book and
start up costs?
