I understand the necessity for the knee pads, as they clearly help with performing under-the-table negotiations.

I seem to remember stories back in the day about threatening ashtrays and flipped chessboards. Helmets might not be a bad idea.

Ensure that no AI can beam moves to players brains. Tinfoil helmets, of course.
