Rules of the Game was the seven track demo cassette recorded by New Jersey third-wave ska band Catch 22. It features several tracks that would later appear on the band's first full-length album, Keasbey Nights (1998), and two tracks, "Shoebox in My Closet" and "I'm Better than You" that were never released in any other form, although former frontman Tomas Kalnoky's current band, Streetlight Manifesto, has performed "I'm Better than You" during live performances. Only 2000 copies of the tape were printed. The sound is of very poor quality. You can download the recordings here[1].
