Looking through a number of posts found here and on boardgamegeek.com I have compiled a few varients to (hopefully) improve the game. My goal here is to balance the game as best as possible and more importantly make for an enjoyable game for everyone involved.

I am by no means and expert player and I welcome any and all suggestions and criticisms.
