IAAPA RULES HANDBOOK

Welcome to the IAAPA rules and frequently asked questions page. Here you will find all the information that you need to play an Association game. In this area you will find the complete Association Handbook, Association clarifications, policies, differences from the Milton Bradley Second Edition rule book and frequently asked questions about the game.

There are two ways to access the information.

The first method is to access the unabridged copy of the handbook. By using this method you can read the entire handbook without having to constantly go back and forth from page to page. This will be best suited for new players, those who want a general refresher, and those who want to browse.

The second method available is the index method. A payer would use these links to go directly to the topic of interest. This will avoid having to scan the entire document just to find information on one topic. This method is best utilized for those who know which section they are looking for instead of having to peruse the entire handbook.

Either method will display the exact same information.

Below you will find a table of contents. You can scroll down, look for the topic of interest, click the hyperlink, and you will be taken to that particular section. Any questions that you may have concerning the handbook should be addressed to the Minister of Law, JohnPin569.
