game review?

Hi all,
 Maybe its just me, but I can't seem to figure out how to review a previously played game. namely, my very first game which seemed to break the rules right off the bat. My very first game was a draw! I think the text should be changed on the home page where it says no possibility of draws.

you can click on the "Game Record" link on the page that describes you.  I clicked on the 'mooseye' link on the active players page.  
 
Then in the 'Totals' section, I clicked on the number just below the 'Games' column header.  This lists all the games you've played.  
 
Your first game can be reviewed with this link:

You are correct, that it was a draw.  However, the game was played before the no draw rule went into effect (I think)
 
n = No rabbits left for either player; draw (before 2008.07.01)

Thank you for the link. I had just figured it out before I saw your post.
 In reviewing the game I noticed that the bot had no rabbits well before the game ended in a draw due to my last rabbit being trapped. I was under the impression that loss of all the bot's rabbits should have resulted in a win for me. Maybe that rule was not in effect at the time?

Right, the rabbit elimination rule was not yet in effect (except for tournament games) when you played the linked game.  Starting July 1 of that year, just a few months later, the elimination rule went into effect for all Arimaa games.  From then on this game would have counted as a win for you.
