AB4K Rules

For those who enjoy to play other Old School formats you can read below the rules for AB4k. This format was previously called AB60 and is also known as AB4000. Why AB4k? Because the inventor of the format called it that way. AB refers to the sets used and 4K the place where the yearly AB4K tournament is held.
