Locking the game
There seems to be a flaw in the Rules.
Specifically, where an Action can trigger another Action, it's possible to enter an infinite loop that cannot be legally broken without banning a card from the game. For example, if an Action card reads "Draw a card and immediately play it", and all other Things are in play and all other Actions are in players' hands, it effectively stalls the game forever. There should be some rule to deal with this, such as an arbitrary "Each Action card cannot be played more than n times each turn". -Bucky 04:28, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
