This is a lot more complicated than what I had in mind. The original idea
is natural extensible... Say you, me, and Joe. I have two games with Joe,
selected by the method I described. You have two games with Joe,
independantly selected by the same mathod. I have two games with you,
again selected independantly... Now, granted, in even this 3-person case,
it could result in 6 different games. If four people play, it could be 12
different games. If five people play, it could be 20 different games...
But I don't think that this is really a problem. For one thing, if 10
people play, each player is not likely to have 9 variants, and each
opponent wanting a different one. And also, if there are lots of different
games played, I'm not sure that's a problem anyway.
