It does look *very* complicated to me, bearing in mind that these
rules aren't set in stone.  But then I'm a newbie.  Fun, also, though.
 Reminds me of a Roger Zelazny novel who's name escapes me...  "A
night in lonesome october"?

Does it need handling?  If a player puts his parts on the market at an
inflated price, then no-one will buy them.  And if ey leaves and
rejoins, ey wont be able to afford them.

Although, maybe it would be better if you removed the bit about body
part belonging to the market.  That way when a player leaves the game
eir body parts are no longer around.  Makes more sense that way,
maybe, too - if the part belongs to the market, why does the player
get the gold?

Too simplistic, maybe, but the simplest winning condition would be
"last one left in the game".  That would require a rule only allowing
joining the game after someone had won it...
