well im already having enough trouble following the current rules to think of new ones, but we could always just try cheating with the dice when it comes time to reveal the hidden cards.
but im not sure we need to do that, actually. Pat is on our side, so we can co-operate with him to beat Wephyr.
when you get down to it, this game isnt very complicated. out of the two ways of getting points, 2 of the same suit is much more achievable than 2 of the same rank, because there is always at least 1 card of every suit available to swap with in the Quickdraw. however, if you have one of the face-down cards when it comes to the Qickdraw, your likelihood of getting any points drops drastically, because you can't control if its going to match your other card.
so here's what we do: we swap our facedown card with Wephyr's Sidera 3. on their turn they will then likely swap one of their cards with a faceup one. Then Pat swaps their facedown card with whatever faceup card Wephyr grabs. This means Wephyr will enter the Quickdraw with two facedown cards. whichever one they pick to swap with a Wgart card, it will only have a 1 in 4 chance of matching their other facedown card in suit. however, just to make sure the odds are in our favor as much as possible, we should swap in whatever our lowest ranking cards are in the Quickdraw for the highest ranking cards, like that Eu, just in case Wephyr manages to get a point.
