Played <u>INFINITE PLANE</u> with BB & Dana. Made a rule that a "wild card" when played could not be picked up in that turn. That seemed O.K. But Dana kept accumulating cards and forced us to buy cards at a disadvantage. He won but made a very dull game. Later I decided to change <s>that</s> the rules to make only a trade mandatory, not a purchase. This should stop a player from hogging all the cards. In the case when no player can made a trade, after all player have shown their hands, the first player to have done this must made a purchase if possible. <s>Each other must also make a play on the table before</s> If not, the next player, etc.
