Simply 'tweaking' the Mad Queen variant is not the final answer. Its form
of play is no longer sufficient to either challenge or evaluate the human
mind. But I understand that many fear stepping too far from this game
because it is familiar and comfortable. And they need not study much to
appear proficient.
Setting the condition of developing a game which can only utilize
commercially available equipment is an interesting challenge. Is the
developer restricted from making any modification to any part of such
equipment(such as painting, gluing, etc.)?
