An issue has occured to me -- under the rules I've defined, Black will always have one or two cards more than white, which is probably excessive. <p> Here's an idea to correct it: <ul> <p> <li> White starts with 1 copy each of all cards except the wild card, black starts with the cards white does, plus 1 wild card. </li> <p> <li> On white's first move, they use no card; thus black starts with the wild card and with one more card than white. </li> </ul> Black starting with the wild card offsets white's first move advantage some, hopefully.
