Is everybody waiting for something to happen in the current game, or do we have vacationers playing?

How can the hand change?  By dealing out more cards?  I can do that.  Make the game depend on three initial rounds.  First round, everybody gets one rule and a third of their cards.  Everybody must 
make at least one offer (alternatively, everybody must be involved in one trade) or execute a "pass" command.  

Then, another rule and another third of the cards are dealt out.  Same deal again.

Finally, the remainder of the cards and the last rules are dealt out and it's a free-for-all.

(Alternatively, there is a command switch "-turns=x" where "x" is the number of rounds before free-for-all.)

Combine that with autoscoring each move so you see your score and your rank on the game board.

How's that?
