Rules for "Manipulation" Card Game? It's a Mechanic, Not a Single Game

"Manipulation" describes a mechanic, not a single game. Several games feature manipulation as core play:

Games Where "Manipulation" Is Central

Game	Type	How Manipulation Works
Manipulation Rummy / Carousel	Rummy Variant	Players can rearrange melds on table (their own + opponents') to play more cards. "Manipulate" the board.
Rummikub	Tile Rummy	Same: break/reform runs/sets on table to empty rack. The classic manipulation game.
Mahjong (Western/Card variants)	Tile/Set Collection	Claim discards, rearrange exposed melds.
Fluxx	Card Game	Rules change every turn (New Rule cards). Manipulate win condition, hand limit, play count.
Innovation	Civ Card Game	Dogma actions manipulate board state: splay, tuck, score, attack, draw.
Glory to Rome / Mottainai	Multi-use Cards	Each card = role, material, building, action. Manipulate roles each turn.
Race for the Galaxy / Roll for the Galaxy	Tableau Builder	Phase selection manipulates everyone's turn order/actions.
Coup / Resistance / Avalon	Social Deduction	Manipulate perception — bluff, deduce, accuse.
Magic: The Gathering / TCGs	TCG	Stack manipulation, bounce, counter, reorder, steal, copy.
