Surely there are some restrictions on the rules that can be added;
otherwise, the first person to win a round could add a rule saying "I
win" and win the game immediately; or a rule saying "The next person to
play a card must bark like a dog and give me their house keys".

Can you give a reference to the restrictions on rules that can be added?
That would allow a better understanding of the problem to be solved.
