Re: [piecepack] New City for 3?

["Rob LeGood" <rflegood@...>]

This would be interesting to try, but the main reason I didn't go for this
was that I wanted all the tiles used by the end of the game.  A slight
variation on the idea would be to still draw four tiles each round and
either bid on all four (which seems like it could be imbalancing) or simply
discard the 4th tile each round.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
