All game rules are trying to simulate reality. Sometimes, those rules taken literally would lead to bizarre or hilarious results. Murphy's Rules is a collection of those sort of game rules; everything from babies being able to throw footballs 80 meters to railroad flatcars transporting cattle without incident. Accompanied by hilarious illustrations and some extra articles, including the ever-handy d18 Random Polearm Generator. Steve Jackson does not spare his own rules from mocking, either. ( )
