Google up a game called FLUXX.

That's basically the entire feature of the game. Every action during 
every turn changes the rules in some way, immediately. The changes take 
effect immediately meaning they affect the very turn you are in the 
process of performing, and they are often additive not merely replacing 
the previous rule. It's maddening at first but pretty soon it's second 
nature. It's sort of a state machine and the sentence above shows how 
this can help a coder although I hadn't actually noticed until you just 
said that.
