Is there a balanced way to tweak the rules so the "starve your neighbor" strategy doesn't work? For example:

* If a player is not passed any cards at the start of his turn, he may pick one of his right-hand neighbor's cards (face up or face down) and put it in his own hand.

* If a player is not passed any cards at the start of his turn, he *must* draw at least one/two/? cards.

Or maybe... punish the player who isn't passing cards? Maybe his neighbor picks a card (face up or face down) and he's forced to discard it.
