[Fluxx] A FLUXX PUZZLE

[Jeffrey Adamson]

Not trying to be critical, but i was actually trying to verify these,  
and/or make them work and this is hard...

Significant problem:
1)after "Everybody Gets 1+1" your opponents are under the "Hand Limit  
0+1". So your taxation will only get you 1 card from each opponent  
(total 2)
2)You have to play all your cards after taxation, you still have  
"Play All" out, also "Hand Limit 0+1" will inhibit your ability to  
start your second turn with any cards, let alone 7.

Two corrections
1)first turn
   a)playing inflation uses a play (up the play rule by 1)
   b)end of turn hand limit is 1 due to inflation, you need to play  
two more cards that won't affect anything you need next turn (up the  
play rule to All)
2)second turn drawing 4 then 6 is 10 not 9 (this is in your favor,  
but doesn't really help the solution along)
