I doubt that's true.  I've come up with several sets of rules for which
that's just not the case.  Keep in mind there is the uber-rule that this
is a jambalaya box and that you can make any fair trades at all that the
rules don't regulate.  So, you don't so much have to follow the rules as
simply fail to violate them.

Your uber-rule negates all the other rules.  So what would be the point?

Or maybe I'm not getting what you're saying.

The uber-rule is something like "trade with the box trying to improve
the value of the assortment."  In addition to this (according to how I
was thinking of it), you would have to follow the variable rules as well.

If the rules are:

Trade only blue pieces for red ones.
If you take plain bricks, replace with slopes.
Silver bricks must be replaced with clear bricks including two times the studs.
Train windows must be replaced with train doors.
All trades must include at least one tile.

and you want to take a red train window, a silver 2x4, five dark grey
2x4s, and fifteen blue 1x2 plates,

You have to include: some blue stuff, a train door, 16 studs worth of
clear bricks, and some other stuff to bring the 'value' up.

That's what I mean.
