Calvinball?

Calvinball?

For my Spanish class, we have to describe/teach how to play a sport. My partner and I chose Calvinball, (from Calvin & Hobbes, a popular English comic series by Bill Watterson), which will be the bast sport, but uses a lot of vocab and grammar I am not familiar with. I found a rule list, and I have gotten about the first three rules translated. Kind of. I have a couple of questions.

Question 1: Is this the correct way to say "The only permanent rule is that the game can never be played the same way twice."- "La única regla permanente es que el juego no se puede nunca ser jugado el mismo camino dos veces." ?

Question 2:How would you say "Can be changed", as in, "all the rules can be changed."? I cannot seem to find a past tense section for "to change" (cambiar)

Question 3: I am trying to say "In the rules, the words "can", "must, "cannot, "always", "never" and "may" are interchangable."

I came up with "En las reglas, las palabras “puede” "debe" "no puede" “siempre” “nunca” y "?" son cambiantes."

I don't know how to say "may", as in "may use masks" or "may use the Calvinball".

If you guys could help out that'd really be just amazing! I will probably have more questions soon, but I thought this was a decent start.

Thanks a bazillion. You guys are just the greatest! :D K

Question 2:How would you say "Can be changed", as in, "all the rules can be changed."? -"Pueden ser cambiadas".

Question 3: I am trying to say "In the rules, the words "can", "must, "cannot, "always", "never" and "may" are interchangable." "En las reglas, las palabras “poder” "deber" "no poder" “siempre” “núnca” y "puede"son intercambiables.

I don't know how to say "may", as in "may use masks" or "may use the Calvinball".
