A game like this with a million variations is almost immediately uninteresting. It makes it seem like the rules / strategy aren't fully formed and doesn't feel like something worth learning. The implementation is great though.

Chess has a million variations too...

Some of the more common ones:

- Played seriously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_random_chess

- Played socially: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bughouse_chess

- Played non-seriously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losing_chess

Rummy has a million variations and it's great. I'm partial to Brazilian Buraco, but only the specific variant my grandpa taught me ;-)

OTOH if all the variations are interesting games in their own right, the family is quite brilliant.

Rummy, whist, euchre, and chess all have many variants.

Au contraire, domino and chess are so mechanic that they're boring. Leave them to the machines
