(Note: "[*blank*]" means optional rule.)
- At the start of the game, shuffle the Occupations and Minor Improvements. Take 7 cards per player out of each deck. Place the rest into the box. Now out of the remaining 2 decks, draw 7 Occupations and 7 Minor Improvements face up near the board as a common supply.
- During the game, a player taking an Occupation action and/or a Minor Improvement action takes the card of their choice from the common supply (an Occupation at the "Employment Office" or a Minor Improvement at "Home Depot"). They then immediately replace the card from the corresponding deck, so that there is always 7 cards in each type in the common supply.
[- No player may have more than 7 Occupations.]
[- No player may have more than 7 Minor Improvements.]
This was a cool idea of mine, though I have yet to try it. I think it would solve the problem of "the best hand wins" complaint even better than the Draft Variant in the official rulebook, because everyone has the same cards available at any given time!
