Mentioned that the 4-hand might not be as good as the others.
Later thought of a variation for 4, or for 5, in which each
player takes two identities. For simplicity he wears only
one letter card - A would also take B, B would also take C, etc.
The lower numbered identity would belong to the first letter.  <br>
The player giving the assignment, or issuing the challenge, would
choose the identity to which it was directed.  <br>
A player can have one identity discovered but can continue with
the other. At the end the player with the most identity cards,
including his own, wins. In case of a tie the player remaining
at the end of the game wins if he is among the tyers.
In case of another tie, it is not broken. (This is good to use
for any number of players.) Another possibility. If two players
tie and one has the other's identity card, he is the winner.
