I find that people west of the Atlantic have a rather unsentimental way of playing. Brits may nitpick and selectively enforce rules but you know at the end of the day it’s just a bit of fun.

Banks et al. was historical curiosity. But over the duckpond it seems to be canon! Meanwhile Carruthers vol 6 is openly disregarded.

A clash of cultures for sure.



Carruthers is a nice overview, sure, though I've always felt it to be far too imprecise where it really matters. I guess I see what you're saying about the cultural differences!

"But how is a duck pond a duck pond if there aren't any ducks."
