Thanks for all of your responses to my points, Mark, and thanks 
for the quick update to your rules!!

The new diagrams are great, they make a big difference when 
reading through and trying to understand the mechanic - which 
is fairly straightforward but not nearly as easy to understand 
through words alone.

Also, thanks for explaining how you chose the suits (that was a 
very minor point in the grand scheme of things).
