Rulesets

A selection of the better-known and more interesting MC rulesets and associated modifying conventions are listed below. A comprehensive list of the variations used in I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue on BBC Radio 4 is available from [http://www.isihac.co.uk/games/mcvariations/index.html]. This list is updated regularly as new variants are broadcast.

While I am compiling this list I am including anything in the Wiki where the link looks vaguely like a ruleset. Some pruning will be required later. [SM]
