1st its not the best 2 player game It needs 3 and I really want 4 when I play.
2nd on the goals thing, keep in mind that you get a VP per turn for winning battles. This should always be a goal and you should strive to make sure the other guys can not build up. Also taking and keeping control of the monolith is always a goal. Those cards are strong.
play the game more than once and with more than 2 players before showing up and suggesting Fixes for a game that's not broken. It is a light conflict game and you need to play it like that.

Amazingly even though I said I was just expressing some first game opinions and reserving a final judgement until after having played the game more I still get comments from you like "play the game more than once before you open your trap....blah blah.. don't suggest anything... the game is perfect... do not express your opinions here they are not welcome"
Even more astonishingly, some people have agreed with some of my observations and others have suggested that it really isn't a good two player game and that some of the observations become less of issues with more players. Hmmm.
Thanks to all of the constructive comments and observations given by the F:ATies here. I've already lined up another victim and I should be able to teach and play this soon with more people with skin in the game.
