Try this. Inflated numbers are in {brackets}.
(draw first card)
First play: Inflation. (now at draw-{2} play-{2}.)
(draw second card)
Second play: Draw {3} and use 'em
(hand is empty, so there's nothing to set aside.)
Play Draw {6}
(draw four cards)
Play Jackpot
(draw four cards)
Play Let's Do That Again, replaying Jackpot
(draw four cards)
One turn, five cards played, 12 in hand at the end. Beat that.
You, sir, are the winner. That's a two-card improvement on the solution I
had in mind:
Inflation
Draw 2 and Use 'em
Draw 5
Play 3
Jackpot!
No Limits
Take Another Turn
