Epic Path is primarily presented at the website 'epicpath.org'.  The game rules are written as a wiki, which requires permission to edit. This means that there are several EXTREMELY powerful ways to find rules, especially compared to the 'good old days' of playing based upon a stack of hard-bound books with colorful pictures on the front filled with small text and lineart.

At the upper right corner of every wiki page, there is a small search bar. You can type in any phrase you want here, and the software instantly searches all of the thousands of pages of the game rules, generally as fast as you can type. (Miraculous!) The software tries to present you with exact matches in page titles, and if it finds one, will auto-complete and take you to that specific page.
