Ah, the losses one suffers when one is deprived of a classical education.  I
seem to recall a verse in the book of Matthew (XIX:23) "Amen I say to you,
with difficulty will a rich man enter the kingdom of heaven.  And further I
say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
  What Jesus was trying to say, in my opinion, is that it is very difficult for
a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven; for a camel to pass through the eye
of a needle is not an easy task -- and THAT is the point of the game.  As for
how to play, it does not really matter.

PS I seem to recall seeing the exact same discussion last year.
