I completely respect that many groups are more relaxed, but I’m simply looking for like-minded players who enjoy the game as it's written. If such a group exists, I’d really appreciate any pointers or contacts.

Thanks in advance!
If you want to play by the rules, I don't think anyone is going to complain about it. But is it a top priority to play in a group that plays by the official rules? Can't you do that yourself?

I follow most of the rules. But I have played with people who are very strict about following all of the rules. I didn't object to them and they didn't object to me. Please note that we were not playing for money.
