Ehi Ciampo, why don't you buy the italian version? I bought it new one year ago for 19 euros with a beautiful colored manual in our language, about 50-60 pages . Inside you can find the basical elements of the game, if you want to explore deeply the game you have to read these topics
I've just scanned the little manual which is included into the box of the italian version of AACW, created a PDF file and send it via e-mail to ciampo.
I think it would be useful to load the file somewhere and make it available to any italian player who might need it.
