Just an idea here.... after a bit, maybe we should start the game over? Just to keep it interesting, the game begins again, only you can't claim the same things you had last round. You wouldn't claim all three characters, location and item all at once, but it'd be done in the stages unintentionally started this round. I mean, I don't think this should be done now, but after a while, maybe.
Just a thought.
