[Icehouse] Zark City 1.1

[Andy Looney]

Yes, as Doug pointed out, I've decided on a couple of tweaks. I came up 
with a better solution to the all-face cards to start problem, and I was 
compelled by this argument from  Topher:

I agree. I was still clinging to the Zarcana method a bit before, but I've 
decided this way is best. I like to think of it as being Draw 3, Hand Limit 
6.

Also, to finally answer Carl's question, I've never intended it to be legal 
to attack your own piece. However, I suppose if you ever found yourself 
wanting to, you could.

Thanks for all the feedback folks! I played Zark City 4 times last night 
and I'm getting more and more into playing this game! It really plays 
well... if you haven't tried it yet, you should!
