Honestly it looks as exciting as watching paint dry.  You have an idea 
there, but it needs development to be a game.

It would make an interesting game for studying game theory, because it is 
so simple.  It makes an interesting AI test.  See it a computer program can 
learn to play a good game of Cooperyoung.  I suspect no.  I think the game 
is too random for any strategy to develop.

Perhaps the Vegas variant works, because you can see the difference between 
where your opponent places his tiles and where he places his own.

The Chicago option baffles me.  I see no point in ever placing the 
opponents tile.
