Enact a new rule, “The Game”:-

If no Game is in progress, the Dealer may start a Game between any two Players by posting a blog entry to that effect (the entry being known as the Game’s “Table”), naming a random one of those Players as the Starting Player, and generating a secretly random Hand of seven Cards for each of them (as if those Cards had been taken from a shuffled version of the Deck). Each Player of the game is then privately informed of their Hand, by the Dealer.

Beginning with the Starting Player, Players of the Game take turns to make a Play, being a comment to the Game’s Table that names exactly one Card.

When each Player of a Game has made seven Plays in that Game, that Game ends.

A deliberately null placeholder game, to be expanded upon (most urgently with how to win, and how to react to an invalid card play).

Seems a bit too empty to me.  I assume that you wouldn’t actually start a game before it became more fleshed out?

I think it’s enough to start building on, if the basic framework makes sense and is something that people want to play. And no, I probably wouldn’t bother starting any games until there was a way to win them.
