is there a place where I can get a copy of the quick start rule book? Misplaced mine and would like to have another copy

thanks for the link, but what I am really looking for is the 4 page quick start book that comes along with the master rule book in the core set.

Do you know anyone in your area who plays? I have 3 core sets myself and would happily give away a copy of the quickstart rules to a friend. I bet there are plenty of people who would do that for you.

wow brain freeze. I have an unopened core set at home. I bet there is one in there
