Suggestion: As far as abbreviations go, why not everyone follow the simple tried and tested and proved formula: For the first mention of a phrase or a card in a document write it out fully and then abbreviate it from then out - not difficult!! and very helpful indeed for new (and even experienced) game players. It takes very little time to write out the thing once properly. Just common courtesy. Cheers, Seeya, Pete "I'll just say my secret magic word..."
