I think the influence of the main game on the subgames should be 
restricted to rule changing, and perhaps a few small other things. The 
subgames, however, can have a great effect on the main game.

The Dynamic and Static rooms are good examples of this, as is the 
Necromancer class - they're part of the House subgame, but if used 
properly they can have a tremendous impact on the main proposal game.
