GAME RULE EBOOKLETS FOR SALE

      Animal Game Mart started out as a game store. It had one sample Animal Game, TOP DOG. It had several pages describing ebooklets that contained the rules of other Animal Games. There were 12 small 3-game ebooklets. These were combined in threes into 4 large 9-game ebooklets. There were rules for 36 Animal Games in all, and shopping cart software with which to buy them.

      Later free Animal Game rules were added. And free Traditional game rules were added. And links to game resources were added. And additional links were added. And articles were added.

      And around January 2011, the ebooklet sales pages were removed. A pair of links to an ebook store were added, but Animal Game Mart ceased to be a store.

      Now in September 2011, the game store is back, sort of. The Animal Games contained in the 4 large ebooklets are again described for those who are interested, but without the shopping cart software. You still have to go to the ebook store to buy them.

      And you are under no obligation to buy.
