My wife and I have played 20+ games and we felt that we needed to remove some of the randomness when dealing out the cards (minor improvements and occupations). We play with the base decks (E, I, and K) as well as the Gamer Deck (G) and we like to deal three cards from each deck and then trim them down to 7 each instead of just dealing out 7 cards blind and getting stuck with what you were given. This allows you to actually craft a strategy that is as varied or dependent as you desire. Playing this way has made the cards much more important for playing rather than just relying on the luck of the draw or getting stuck with cards that are of no value.
