comment Rock-paper-scissors type randomizers
I think this comparison between Diplomacy and RPS is very interesting. There must be some situations in Diplomacy which are equivalent to RPS, and many others which are like a much more complex version of RPS with more players. The discussions in Diplomacy are similar to the game banter in RPS. (+1)

Brilliant! Thanks for the addition. We already play the "Rule of 7", but I wasn't sure about the maximum share price.

comment What games are suitable for a large number of people with only a pack of playing cards?
Yes that would be fine. I was looking for card games that can be played on the fly with a random collection of people. Probably finding a pack of cards per player would be asking too much, but I think most people have a couple of decks of cards in their house.

comment Can Expansion Combining “Break” the Game?
The catapult brings physical skill into a game focused on strategy and negotiation. It changes the game significantly, and I'm not convinced that it complements the other expansions (or even the base set). Opinions vary on this though - have a scan through the reviews here for more: boardgamegeek.com/forum/4738/carcassonne-catapult/reviews
