One thing my group found that seemed to make this game not as good as it should be was the way one could manipulate the card system. This is from when we played in the 80's and 90's and I haven't played since but here is the basic idea of the rules we used.
You do not draw your hand to 4 cards, instead on your turn when you drew cards you:
Draw one card (unless you now have 4 cards)
Pay 2 Cbills to draw a 2nd card (unless you now have 4 cards)
Pay 4 Cbills to draw a 3rd card (unless...)
Pay 8 Cbills to draw a 4th card (unless...)
This made the cards tend to come out a bit slower than in a standard game, and it worked out very well for us. What do folks think about this?

As an optional rule, I think this could be really good. Particularly in the large games where finances are not so restrictive for the Houses.
It adds anothe element of strategic spending to the game.

Yes indeed it would be an idea as an optional rule. We played a lot of games standard and added this house rule once we saw how card manipulation skewed things closer to luck of the draw rather than strategic thinking.

Hrm, that's definitely an interesting way to handle card abuse. The way we did it is to limit trading a card to only once.
I think in the really big games with lots of C-Bills, this wouldn't really add much strategy. Also, it disadvantages houses that start poor or those who are already losing. So, it's a very intersting idea (and many of the best ideas come form you guys so keep them ciming!), but I don't see us implimenting it even as an option. :(
As an aside... Some time ago I've did some estimating and found that the average card (in the standard deck) is worth about 12 C-Bills.

I didn't realize you guys had implemented one trade only that helps! I think this idea helps a bit more though, but its my baby! When we played with it cards were held longer, rarely discarded or traded, and sold very rarely and for substantial credits!

I like this idea, too many actions depend on cards in my opinion.
